What your dealer SHOULD have done was to provide you with a
software exchange authorization card (This is not exactly the
correct name, I can't remember what Apple calls it).  You would
then simply fill out the card (name, address, etc.) and send it,
along with your defective disk to the address indicated on the
card.  After a few weeks (hopefully) you would then receive a 
replacement disk at no charge.

Basically Apple's policy for the past few years has been to replace
defective disks for free.  Unfortunately many dealers are too lazy
(dumb) to check their Apple Service Procedures Binder to find this 
info.  

I would suggest talking to the service dept. manager at your dealer or 
finding another dealer.

Hope this helps a little.
