How To Install Snow Leopard On Macbook

This is a guide on how to clean install Mac OS 10.6 Snow leopard on a Macbook pro iOS App: - https://itunes.apple.com/au/app/pkerry12-productions/id538768687. Install Snow Leopard while erasing everything on your computer. https://porsmitcieta1984.mystrikingly.com/blog/apple-watch-4-unlock-mac. If you follow these steps, everything that's currently on your computer will be erased, and a new version of Snow Leopard installed. Make sure you've backed up your documents, music, pictures, movies, and other personal files before you proceed. I ordered a new installation disk from Apple (Mac OS X Snow Leopard - with a green sticker New version 10.6.3). When I start up from this DVD it only displays the grey Apple screen, I can't even select an installation language or use the Disk Utility; It's as if the DVD is not bootable. The drive that would hold the back-rev Snow Leopard was renamed, creatively, 'Snow Leopard'. Before you go ahead and try to install Snow Leopard, download the Mac OS X v10.6.5 Update (Combo) from.

So I recently discovered that I need to install a few apps for school that are only windows based. I had Fusion a few months ago but I was less than impressed and chose to delete it and the partition. I have been able to get by with my windows based desktop until now. I need my early '08 style MBP to do research in the lab and I must have windows.
I tried to install 32-bit XP on a small partition (20 gb) using bootcamp but I got the error '.some files cannot be moved.' It recommended I reinstall Snow Leopard and try again. I did some research and discovered I could use Idefrag and possibly resolve the situation but I am also wondering if I could use a good reinstall of my OS. I have always run the disk utility and onyx at least biweekly.
I have a few questions regarding a reinstall of Snow Leopard and I have found mixed answers so I was hoping some of you could shed some light.
1) Will i actually gain anything from a reinstall of os x?
2) Do I use the Leopard disk to reformat, or the snow leopard disk?
3) Will a full backup using time machine require me to reinstall my apps once i do reinstall OS X? I have iLife 09, iWork 09, and some other apps for school downloaded via the web.
4) If I restore using the full backup from time machine will I get the same error message when trying to install XP via bootcamp?
Specs:
10.6.2 snow leopard
2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
4 gigs ddr2 ram
Any help is greatly appreciated.
