On the back of your MBP is the serial number. Enter it here and post back the model/year information:

Ciao.
MacBook Pro (13-inch, Early 2011)
An early 2011 MBP came with Snow Leopard OSX (10.6) and you will need the original OSX installation disks. If you no longer have them, contact Apple Customer Service and order a set.
Ciao.
I have the installation disk and everything. But my problem is how to get it to install. I expected Disk Utility to open up, but now it is opening GRUB. And also i cannot find a way to install from bootable media.
Insert the Installer/Utilities DVD you have.
Restart your Mac while holding the Alt/Option key.
A search ensues where every possible boot device is scanned for potential bootability. This takes as long as several minutes.
Choose the 10.6 Installer/Utilities DVD, and proceed.
Answer only the "what language" question, and wait up to a quarter minute while the MenuBar is drawn.
Choose Disk Utility off a Menu that appears.
If you proceed down the path toward Install, the Utilities will NOT appear, and you must start over.
