If there's nothing related to I/O in your console that's good, means there are
no Input/Output errors which would be indicative of a bad block.
You can buy Snow Leopard on eBay or from the Apple Store Online, it's up to
you. You'll need to install 10.6.3 (on the disc) then run software update to
get to 10.6.8 (10.6.6 was when the app store arrived), then use the App Store
to install Mavericks.
If your Mac won't support Mavericks, you can also buy Mountain Lion or Lion on
the Apple Store Online, they'll send you a voucher to redeem in the App Store
and it'll download.
