First of all, I am 100 percent sure my laptop can run it, since it is perfectly capable of running BioShock.

Here's the thing: Whenever I get to the third disk, in the middle of the installation, something pops up that says something about a "Redundancy error." No matter what I click, the "X" button or the "OK" button, is always ends up X'ing out of the installation, so I can't install it!

Does anyone know what's wrong?

A redundancy error would suggest corrupt data. If everything is working fine until the third disc, it's could be a scratched disc or just dirty. Try cleaning it if you haven't already. Funnily enough I recall having the same problem with this game and I think I just kept trying until it finally completed the installation. If that doesn't help there isn't much left except contact the publisher for a replacement copy (or the store where you bought it if you did so recently).

btw nothing to do with this problem, but just because you can run game X doesn't automatically mean you can run anything that came before it. As far as I know games are almost never officially supported to run on laptop hardware so there's always a chance that you're going to run into problems.

Just to confirm this is correct. Its a cd problem. Also note that playing kotor2 on vista is a huge pain so be prepared to post again if you have vista.

try using another cd/dvd reader, or your friends; if the disk still gives problems, it's broken for good
