So yesterday I ran Disk Utility and it said I needed to repair my hard drive or something like that. I put in the MacBook "Mac OS X Install Disc 1", but the computer didn't seem to recognize it and spit the CD out after a few seconds. I tried putting the disc in and shutting the computer off before it could eject the disc. When I turned the computer back on(and held down the "c" key to boot from the CD) it made that sound like it didn't recognize the disc again, spit it back out, and the computer started up normally. What can I do about this? How do I boot from the disc if the computer won't accept it?

And I'm absolutely positive this is the disc that came with the computer when I ordered it from Apple a couple of years ago. Thanks for any help you guys can offer, I'd really appreciate it.
