What disc are you using? You can only use a retail disc or the grey restore discs that came with your computer. Discs that came with another model will not work.

That message tends to come up if you use a disc that came with another computer, so it might not be a retail disc you're trying with after all.

The cheapest option is to buy Snow Leopard, then of course is contacting apple for a replacement of system disks. They may or may not charge you a small fee.

You also can check out ebay and other online options.
