    Hi, see if this works...

     

    Reboot while holding Mouse button down to eject Disc 2, & holding alt key to bring up boot manager at the same time.

     

    Insert disc 1 & when it shows up choose it to boot from.

     

    That second Disc thing happens frequently, the best way around it is to do a Custom install, and eliminate enough Printer Drivers, Languages, Fonts, and Applications you don't need... then it may skip #2 altogether.
