iMac shuts down with install disk 2

I'm reinstalling since it seems the only solution to a failure of the drag and drop function. But disk two of the reinstall disks does not complete, I get a grey screen must restart computer in 4 languages. The computerr rejects other disks like tech tool, it wants to complete the reinstall with disk 2 only. Very frustrating. This is the iMac duo core from @ 2006? when they first came out.

iMac, Mac OS X (10.5.8)

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. Reboot & hold the Option/at key as well as the left Mouse button to eject Disc#2 & bring up the Startup manger to choose Disc #1 again.
