Upgrade to 10.6.3 unsuccessful.

I'm on 10.5.8 and bought the 10.6.3 disc to upgrade to snow leopard. Inserted the disc and followed instructions. It said it was installing. I walked away and when I returned the login screen was displaying. I logged in but noted that the version number is still on 10.5.8. I see the install data folder with today's date and a log file, etc. Now when I try to reinsert the disc, it ejects. Please assist.

iMac, Mac OS X (10.6.3)

Having a similar problem. I walked away for a few minutes and when I came back the disc had ejected and the computer was restarting. Still says 10.5.8. I inserted the disc again and tried to install, after about ten minutes it said there was an error reading the DVD, remove and clean it. Now, it just ejects the disc when I insert it.
