Try another CD and see if it works, the media could be damaged. If that does not work, then do 2-3 Intel iMac SMC and PRAM resets back to back.
Thank you for your response. However, it did not solve the problem.
Another help source (if you haven't already done so).
Go to your OS Help Menu. In the search field type dvd
Click on all the troubleshooting topics & Support Articles that pertain to your issue.
You can also do the same in Disk Utility. Open same up.
At the bottom left of the window, click on the purple button w/the "?" in the middle.
This will bring up the Help Menu.
