Kindly:

  • 1. Post the specifications of your Mac--model, OS, RAM, HD, viscosity, et cetera.
    2. Employ capitalization and punctuation--guards against ocular hemorrhage.

Particularly the use of a modified scriptua continua in which you do not separate sentences at all so one thought rather runs into another much like the way classical languages were render'd THOUGH THEY WERE ALL IN CAPITALSWITHOUTANYBREAKBETWEENTHEWORDSBUTUNLIKESEMITICLANGUAGESTHTHDNVWLS'ND'CTD.

We have progressed. . . .

Your message left me with this question: Which OS X install would have two discs? Was there an option to get Leopard on CDs? I vaguely remember that for Tiger and / or Leopard. You mentioned Leopard, of course.

It sounds like you are getting a disc error when you enter the second disc. Have you tried gently cleaning the disc with a soft cloth like the microfiber cloths they give you with eyeglasses? Make sure there are no fingerprints or smudges.

Maybe the discs that came with that Mac... those are usually 2.
If that's the case, then use disc 1.
 
And: If the problem is just with disc 2 (after the stuff from disc 1 has been installed), deselect most packages from the installation, keeping it crisp and clean. This might require only disc 1. (I'm not entirely sure which stuff has to be deselected off the top of my head, though.) Then you can at least use the notebook.
