Anybody know why this happens when you try to re-install Snow Leopard on a 3 
week old MacBookPro 13 ?


when trying to reinstall SL on a 3 -week old MBPro13 , I see:

"The contents of this disk can't be changed"


After a few tries, now the MBPro goes BLACK (seems to turn off) while holding 
the "C" key down when trying to boot from a Snow DVD... 

If we boot without the DVD in the drive and hold the shift key down, we see a 
graphic that looks like a firmware update oval, but it never fills .. we get 
the gear ... then the display goes black

hardware issue?

A neighbor brought her new MBPro 13 here and is livid .. 
I'm just trying to figure out what's going on 

it did boot at one point .. I launched the console and things stopped reporting 
after the Adobe CS4 monitor could not call home ...  and the pinwheel of death 
was ineluctable 

subsequent reboots got worse .. to the point where the machine just shuts down 
during a reboot

probably hardware ... 
but just wondering if anybody has any suggestions 

thanks
K
