If the computers boots from the disk select utilities and erase the disk. Afterwards, if you have backup you can try to restore it, or reinstall Leopard anew.

If not, I am afraid your only recourse is to purchase the OSX disk directly from Apple online store.

Did you check out your machine to see if it was capable of running Snow Leopard?
If not, read through this document and check your machine.
Mac OS X v10.6 Snow Leopard -Read the Technical Specifications
Then post back with your findings and specifically how much RAM you have and whether you have the facilities, Find any File and / or Easy Find.
