Error message on installation

I downloaded Mavericks from App Store to my MacBook Air. Download seemed to go fine, then installation. At end of installation, error message appeared that said it could not be completed because my hard drive has a problem that cannot be fixed. So it gave me options and I re-installed from a Time Machine backup and got everything back as before on the old system. I checked the disk and all checks out OK, but I'm afraid to try it again. Anyone have any idea what's the problem?

Ok James, in the absence of any more error detail we can try checking the disk in a way that is possibly more able to detect and fix a disk problem:
Boot into single-user mode (hold 'command' and 'S' keys when the chime sounds
At the # prompt type /sbin/fsck -fy
It goes through a number of checking stages. At the end it will either say the volume appears to be ok or ***** FILE SYSTEM WAS MODIFIED *****
If it gives ***** FILE SYSTEM WAS MODIFIED *****, rerun it until it says ok.
Once that's done you can type reboot to boot normally and reply with status please.
