iMac won't install Snow Leopard

-

hello all. past weekend, imac began freezing up. it's 21.5' imac purchased around january / february (before sandybridge processors came out). turned computer off, thinking issue because computer hadn't been shut down in while, computer had been resting in sleep mode few weeks. when turned computer on (which took quite while), found finder unable used. crash every time application minimized, or went background momentarily (ie - finder crash loading safari). items on desktop barely moved, , afterwards finder crash , turn on again.

today, problem became unbearable. repaired disk permissions, , tried verify disc - said needed os x disc came computer. restarted computer, , opened disc permissions disc came imac when purchased. said hard drive corrupted. repaired disc permissions again, , repaired disc itself. afterwards, wiped hard drive clean, , repartitioned it, allocating memory used 1 partition. tried reinstall snow leopard.

snow leopard install took bit on 4 hours, despite saying 38-40 minutes. when reached around 8 minutes left on install, quit , said mac os x cannot installed. i'm wondering if operating system discs faulty, or if there hardware issue blame here. computer should still under warranty, i'd prefer fix myself if possible (and easy). advice appreciated.
 

hard disk


failure guess here. it's dying, replacement required. if still think installation disks, see if friends machine can read them. i'm betting okay though.
