Thanks for the additional model information. That MBP came with Mac OS X Snow Leopard 10.6.3 or 10.6.4. It would have come with gray installer discs. If you don't have them, you can purchase a retail version from Apple for $19.99 USD. You could also try going to an Apple Store Genius Bar to see if they may help you out. If neither of those options are feasible, you could try a local Apple retailer, Apple User Group, or even eBay.

im suppose to get a CD from a friend sometime soon, how can i install back the OS if windows cant read Apple files?

It depends on how the hard drive was partitioned/formatted. You may have to totally erase the hard drive to allow installation of OS X. Also, it depends on which version of the installer disc you get. If it is a gray OEM disc from Apple, then it has to be for your specific model. If it is a retail disc, then it can be used on any model that supports that version of OS X.

Here are a few documents to read through in preparation:

Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard - Installation and Setup Guide
Troubleshooting Mac OS X installation from CD or DVD

Let us know when you get the disc and which version it is.
