Can these hard drives be repaired ?
2 layers of text when using an install disc.
bottom layer says shut down & restart.
top layer has endless scrambled text with isolated words, i.e. panic & code interspersed within the text

That many hard drives failing with a kernel panic indicates to me that your problem lies elsewhere.
When you boot from the install disk with no hard drive in what happens?
Is this a retail system installation disk? What system is it? Is it a machine specific "grey" installation disk and what system is on it and what machine does it say that it's for?

Pre-Installed MacOS: X 10.3.7 Maximum MacOS: X 10.5.8
There are other ways to format than Disk Utilities.

One hard drive did boot up properly with the retail disc that I used.
I have accumulated gray discs & retail discs with the leopard (not snow leopard) with similar results.
By the way, Mayer, you have the best track record on this site.
Thank you for your time.
