Q: Trying to install OS X from original discs

Hi,

 

I have a 2008 Mac Pro Desktop that came with Snow Leopard installed. I am trying to reinstall the OS from the discs that came with the machine. I have erased and reformatted my hd and then boot with disc 1. Everything seems to me going along just fine until the Mac restarts and asks for disc 2. I put in disc 2, but the optical drive will not spin up. I'm not sure if it can't read the disc or if it is something else. The disc looks fine, surface wise. Now, I'm stuck!

 

Any suggestions?
