You can use a copy of your friends CD if you had the same Retail version. But you need to get your ProductKey from your current system. Run

NotePad  C:\Windows\SYSTEM.DAT

and use the find command to locate the keyword "ProductKey". It is the 25 character key that follows. If it has the OEM header, then your system came with Windows ME pre-installed and you will have to contact the system manufacture for a copy of the rebuild CD.
