Gulp, but some things to try...
What shows if you hold alt key at setup, & how long will it sit on that screen?
Does it boot to Single User Mode, CMD+s keys at bootup, if so try...
/sbin/fsck -fy
Repeat until it shows no errors fixed.
(Space between fsck AND -fy important).

One more question, does it have more than one use or just the one computer then id have to buy another?
The Standard Client edition stated it could be installed on one computer, the Family pack was 5, but it's on the honor system.
Wait how would I open the DVD drive?
Try holding left mouse button down when powering on.
If not you can slide the DVD door down & use a straightened Paper Clip in the tiny hole you see to push in to open it.
