I want to completely reinstall my SL onto my MBP just to have a fresh start and 0 out my harddrive. I've already backed up all my important files and everything I need, but when I put in my SL disc it tries to read it and then just kicks it out of the drive without ever showing up on my laptop. Has anyone had a problem like this? It is not the disc I used when I upgraded my MBP from 10.5 to 10.6 though because I misplaced and cannot find that copy, but I am using a friends copy (I don't think this is the problem). I know my drive should read it because it reads every other CD I put into it and it shows up on my friends MacBook as well.

Any ideas?

Is the DVD itself colored gray? Or does it have a Snow Leopard on it? If the disc is gray, it means that it can't be used with your Mac

No its an upgrade CD with the Snow Leopard on it.
 
Just 1, but it should still read on my computer and then not work if that was the case..
