10.3 Installation problem

I have a 700 MHz G4 iMac, currently running 10.2.8. I'm trying to install 10.3. It begins the upgrade process, then dies, offering me a chance to watch it die again. According to the log, the target drive is damaged & can't be repaired. However, I'm able to start up in 10.2.8 & everything's fine. I'm frustrated - I bought 10.3 because I can't locate my 10.2 disks, so now what?

Thanks!
 
Have you tried running a Disk Utility diagnostic on the drive? You could do this either from 10.2.8, or from the 10.3 installer CD (in the "Installer" menu at the top of screen when running the installer). It sounds very much like a failing hard disk drive.
