NNow what Ogelthorpe ? Thankyou soooo much I should have known better but I trusted them ,
A 2009 MBP came with Leopard OSX installation disks. You should have these and should have received them when you got the MBP. If not, duplicates can be purchased from Apple Customer service.
The disks will allow you to reinstall the original OSX and to do some trouble shooting to correct some possible problems. A second option is the Snow Leopard retail disk which can be purchased from the Apple online store:

This disk will not have the AHT on it or the applications.
Please advise if you have one or the other.
Ciao.
I dont have either Ogelthorpe , and I don't think I can afford the disk
I am sorry to hear that. In order to do try to get the MBP functioning, the installation disks are essential.
The only alternative you have is to make an appointment at an Apple store genius bar. They may be willing to install the OSX and they do not charge for their services.
Ciao.
IS that an Apple Store? And thank you so much you don't know how much you helped me

Yes, at an Apple store. If you go to an independent Apple reseller, they may want to charge you a fee.
Ciao.
Call AppleCare - have the serial number handy - and tell them you need the original system disk for the computer. The replacement cost isn’t all that much.
