| I think what fryke is saying is that if you make us aware that you're using OS X illegally (ie, "borrowing" install disks that do not belong to you and for which you do not own the license), then you're not going to get much help here. We gotta keep it legit in these parts of town.
You can tell retail disks from packaged disks because packaged disks are grey in color, and list a specific Mac computer model on the label.
If the model of computer you're trying to boot that CD/DVD with is different from the computer model printed on the CD/DVD, then it won't boot. You gotta "match up" the CD/DVD with the correct computer model, or go out and purchase a retail copy of Mac OS X, which is a "universal" copy and will install on any Mac computer that supports running that version of OS X.
