Short answer, No. the OSX DVD that comes with a certain machine are for that exact model Mac only and will not work on another model.
Also it's against their EULA to install on more than one machine unless it's a family pack, and then it's within a household.

Your system discs are specifically tied to your machine based on its hardware configuration and the End-User License Agreement. If your friend lost her discs, she should contact Apple for replacements, they typically cost around $40.

I don't mean to pick on this particular OP, but this question must get asked like every day! The answer is still the same as it was for the past million times it was asked, NO.
