OS 10.5 - OS X Leopard Trouble

So I have an iMac that I purchased several months ago...

Today I was installing my system update and decided to just skip it and watch a movie, and update while I sleep, I turned off my iMac while the update was at 15%. Silly me.

I reboot and there is an error screen that says please reboot.

I reboot, and it comes back to the error screen.

I try to reinstall OS X Leopard with my DVDs, the first disk installs (but somehow it doesn't ask if me I want to archive), but the iMac doesn't recognize the second one.

I tried to repair the disk, but when I boot OS X the error screen still appears.

How can I get OS X working and keep my files?
