It does sound like there are hard drive issues... In the time you have had the computer, have you run a Disk Check with both boxes checked? I think you had planned to at one point, but you never said whether you did or not or what the results were. It would probably be worth doing.
If the install gets stuck long enough due to a hardware fault, it will stop and throw up an error. The only concern you should have is if it freezes completely and there does not seem to be any graphical activity to the installation.
What is the current status with the system? Given the short turnaround you had to get it finished, thought I would check in and make sure things are running smoothly.
