2006 White Intel iMac not accepting Tiger Disc

I ordered Mac OS X Tiger and recieved it today. I deleted everything off the hard drive itself so I could go back to Mac OS X Tiger (10.4), but the iMac won't start from it. It accepts the disc, but doesn't read it. The iMac will run Leopard & Snow Leopard discs. All 3 OS X discs are retail discs. Tiger is the original OS X of the iMac as that's the operating system it came with. Any ideas on why it will accept the disc, but not read it?

The Leopard 10.5 DVD should be universal, and is newer enough to have a few web browsers available, and older Tiger etc applications can run on it. The download Software Update is Combo 10.5.8, after it is installed. There is a slightly newer Flash plugin from Adobe's archives; and a patch from another party.

So that's something, if you have the white label 10.5 DVD.
