Unhappy Problems with Darwin

Hello guys I'm new here, nice to meet ya.
I've been able to go as far as actually starting the installation. When the installation reached about 8% everything froze... It refused to go any further. When I tried to restart and try installing it from the DVD again, it wouldn't go past the beautiful apple loading screen... Any ideas?
My bet is it stores the boot info for the dvd on the drive, so let's say I should format the destination drive again and start all over again - but what if it fails again?

My system:
Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 2,4Ghz
Asus P5N32-E SLI with nForce 680i chipset
2GB DDR2 RAM (667Mhz)
Club 3D GeForce 7600GT 256MB
4 Hard Disks:
- 500GB Maxtor (sata) (contains Vista)
- 160GB Seagate (sata) (contains XP)
- 40GB Seagate (sata) (contains Ubuntu)
- 35GB Samsung (ATA) <<---- This one was supposed to contain Mac OS X.

It might seem weird to you that I chose the smallest one, but I'm all about... testing it out before actually ruining my budget on a real Mac.

All help is appriciated. Oh one more thing - I had to unplug all the drives cept the samsung one cause Darwin was going HAYWIRE when they were plugged in. Overall, this darwin thing is... damn weird. I know it does it's job in most cases, but it's been acting strangely on my machine since the first boot-from-dvd.
