Can't install any operating system

Hello,

I am recently working on a computer for a friend and have never been stumped before when it comes to computer repair. I am working on a Toshiba Satellite notebook 3 months old running athlon x2 64. Loaded with vista home premium. There were many problems with the computer including crashing so she suggested to just wipe the hard drive clean and install windows 7 as an upgrade. So I did, first I paritioned, erasing everything off the hard drive to wipe it clean of all the crap on it. The i tired the install and everytime an error always came up half way through the installation, the computer is compatible for windows 7, dont know why it rejected it. So i tried vista enterprise which I have. Same problem, different error, half way through installation everytime. So I did the same with trying XP on the system and the same thing happened. With xp it says im missing a file on the installation disk to continue, but I have used this disk many times to install xp, no problems before, none of the disks are scratched and they all work on other computers. What can I do???? I need this fixed asap. What can this be? any help pleeeeaaaassssse!!!!!
