The system is not verifying the correct model number according to the data stored on the gray discs. Do you have a retail copy you can install instead?

No, i bought this mac from guy who didn't gave me the disk. I try to download from piratebay some dmg's but didn't success.
I try to repair the disk with DiskUtil under boot install disk.
