Q: MacBook (2006) does not read OSX SL install disk

I have MacBook running 10.5.8 and want to install 10.6.  I have two other MacBooks that did this without a problem, but this one tries read the disk and just ejects it after 3 spin ups.  I have the HD partitions with Win XP on one of the partitions.  This is the only difference between the 2 MBs that worked and this one that did not.

 

The drive can read DVDs without a problem.   I put in a movie and DVD Player opened right away.

 

Do I need to get rid of the Win XP partition?  I don't use it anyway, so it is not a big loss.
