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

It is a retail disk (family pack).  I have used on 3 machines so far, 2 MacBooks and 1 iMac.  I did have to blow out the DVD slot on one of the MacBooks before it could read the disk.  I tried this on the last MacBook, but that did not work.  The MB can read regular DVDs with no problem.

Tried both ideas and neither would let the MB read the install disk.

Also, I was trying to use the Remote OSX instal from my iMac.  On the MB, when I reboot and try to select a startup disk, I can never get the Network option to show.  (step 5 from here  http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2129)

The instructions are a little confusing in the Remote Install app.

Any suggestions?

Tried that, too.  No luck.  The drive will read regular movie DVDs, it just keeps ejecting the snow leopard install disk.

I tried Target Disk Mode with one of the other MBs.  I see the disk and run the Install OS X app, but I get an error that says: "the Install Mac OSX cannot be run from this device".

I was finally able to get it done.  I created a DMG of the install disk and burned that to a dual layer DVD.  This worked.
