I just got a used MacBook and it had only windows xp running on it so I wanted to use the restore discs to install OSX again. I insterted the disc and it loads up fine but then before I can click on an installation option is say "Cannot Load OSInstaller.mpkg"

I have no clue what to do from here. Can anone help me out?
 
It looks like you have bad disks. Are you sure you're using the disks that came with your computer? Are you booting from the disks, or loading them in windows? Hold the C key on startup to boot from a disk..
 
I am using copies of the discs that came with the computer. I am booting from the discs by holding C....So it probably is just a bad copy then?
 
I'd say so. Look at them to see if there's any scratches, and try to clean it with a cotton cloth. If there's an Apple Store nearby, they can probably swap your disks for free, and telephone support may be able to send some. Of course, it could be something else, but bad disks seems most likely.
