Mac disc drive keeps ejecting pro#
I was lucky to find another drive from another MAC PRO that has the operating system on it and I plugged it into the computer in question and it booted just fine. I am not sure if I will go as I dont want to explain everything and spend time just so that the genius bar can conclude the same thing or worse tell me that this model is no longer supported (which is the most annoying statement) its like taking a 2009 Prius in for service and Toyota saying oh man sorry bro that model has been discontinued we only meant for you to buy our super expensive computer to use for 100k miles then we expect you to trash it and buy another one. He ultimately set me up with an appointment to an Authorized Service Center. We tried every possible keyboard combination while booting, booting while connected to a network via ethernet, resetting the svram, nothing worked.

Also I gave him the serial number and despite this he could not tell me what specific disk I would need to boot, instead he focused on getting the machine to boot with the disc I had on hand. He told me that the disc I have isn't model specific and that any disc should work, he didnt seem to worried about weather it was the correct one. The customer service rep was a nice guy I felt that he wanted to help but was ultimately not well versed with apple products from this time period. Since I posted this question I have been on the phone with Apple Support as Bmike had suggested for an unbelievable amount of time. I was thinking the along the same lines as in I probably dont have the right disk. Second regardless of what I choose to do I would need to start with Snow Leopard first and then work my way up.

From what I am understanding from the responses collectively is that determining which install disk came with my machine is going to be not as straightforward as I thought. UPDATE: Thank you to everyone who took the time to answer. How can I determine if this is the right disc and/or which is the latest retail disk I can use on this machine? I think I may be using the wrong installation disk since I can't confirm this disk belongs to this machine.
While in Linux I formatted the hard drive I want to install the OS onto as HFS+ and had no problems. It is not the optical drive as I was able to boot into Linux using a live CD. I am not that savvy with Macintosh computers so I can't figure out why the install disk keeps ejecting when I attempt to boot from disk by holding down the "C" button or the option button.
