Problems installing OSX on hp pavillion dv 97000 laptop

Okay so first off my specs are

 

intel core 2 duo 2.2ghz

4 gigs of ddr2 RAM

Toshiba HDD 5200RPMs

Nvidia geforece gs 8600m

 

Now I got OSX 10.5.6 to install ONCE but when I went to windows and made a boot loader it wouldn't load up OSX so I erased the partition and tried to reinstall it. I don't remember what I did to get it to work in the first place but it won't install now. To minimize conflict I go and deselect the languages and then go to the nvidia drivers and choose the NVdarwin 512mb.

 

The problem is when it goes to install the bar will get 1/8th full and then freeze saying there are 6 minutes left. Well the bar doesn't freeze (it keeps doing that wavy motion) but it doesn't advance any further and about 20 minutes later it will say the installation failed. Any advice?
