Some machines have a dedicated recovery partition on the hard drive so it may not ask you for the discs, just see it through to the end.
The discs are there in case you need to replace your hard disk in case of failure.
If you have problems doing it this way, You can insert the disc one then reboot the machine with the cd in the drive and it will do a full recovery also.
you may have to press the space bar or F8 when the computer first starts up to get the recovery disc disk to read and boot into the new install.

it may have a seperate partition with the factory image on it that it automaticaly recovers from. If it didnt ask for your disk right away then thats what its doing. I think if you want to recover from the disks you need to put the disk in and reboot to dvd drive

If you used the recovery partition on your hard drive, then you don't need to use the disks.
