Okay, Panther, that helps. As I understand it, you have used the 
install disc to erase your drive, so now there's no operating system 
on it, correct?

(If that's the case, it's pointless to run Disk Utility, as that just 
works to check an installed system.)

Now, we're wondering why the install doesn't seem to be working 
properly on your iBook. Have you used this install disc successfully 
before? Could be a defective disc, could be a defective optical 
drive, could be that your HD has some mechanical problems.

Maybe review this Apple article:
