It appears that you are trying to use a retail installation disc on a machine that requires 10.6.4 or later.

You have to use the discs that came with your Macbook Pro. The disc you are using has a Mac OS X version that is too old for your machine.

They just explained when macbook pro is working okay , what if we need some parts from macbook pro and for some reason MBP is not working at all. At bottom panel it only tells model number is A1278. but when i checked this link i cannot find anything with this number.
So could you please tell me how can i identify the model number without turning on my MBP.

If it's a Macbook purchased since April of last year it originally came with either Snow Leopard 10.6.6 or Lion. Subsequently you'll either need to do an internet restore of Lion, or if you're determined to get Snow Leopard on it you'll have to get a 10.6.6 or better build. Highest retail build is 10.6.3

Alternatively call Apple and buy replacement restore discs (if Snow Leopard - Lion comes with none) or get another Mac with a 10.6.6 + build and install using target disc mode
