How do I store my install disks on icloud?

I am trying to restore the OS on my old mackbook white...

I can't use the old original disk because there are 'damaged' areas on the disk

I can't get a new disk because 'this disk is not for sale'

I can't copy the disk because it is 'protected' by apple (9)

I can't talk to support because I can't understand the language being spoken

I can't even install a copy of linux because (see 9 above.)

I can't install with another disk...(it didn't come with this computer).....

I can't read the disk because my optical drive don't drive

I can't get advice from the re-seller (I have a new MBPro bought here)...all 3 re-sellers here

don't even have a cable to connect my 2 MB's together

I have had Mac products since the '80s..(apple 1,2, with the b/w 9 inch screen.....now I have

a MB white, an old iPod, an iMac, iBook, and more, plus I have a stack of comptr cables,

mice, disks, about 1 meter in height which are useless, .....except I might use one of the

cables with one end tied to the plumbing downstairs.

What would YOU do???

MacBook, I could write a book

Ring the Apple Online Store at the number given at bottom left of this page: depending on the age of your Mac you may be able to get a replacement install disk for a nominal cost. You will need to give them the serial number of your Mac.

If as you say the optical drive doesn't work then you can only proceed by getting it repaired. If the Mac is very old this may not be economically viable (it may cost more than the value of the Mac).

Storing the disks on iCloud - the given subject of your question - isn't possible and isn't relevant.
