Sorry if you tried this already (I didnt read every post in the threads you cited), but a failed installation often is a sign of bad file permissions….have you repaired permissions on your hard drive using Disk Utility. Again, apologies, if you already tried that.

…please, don’t apologize for anything, I can use all the help I can get. Yup, did the Permissions thing last week…

Alright, going out a a limb here.

Open up disk utility and select the drive you are trying to install to. On the bottom of the disk utility window, there’s a bunch of info, what does it say for “Partition Scheme”?

[Mark Wils]

…here’s what I’ve got…

Partition Map Scheme : GUID Partition Table

…also….after I repair permissions I get this stuff… means ZERO to me… but it doesn’t look good….
