Ah. Then that is the problem.

You should make the guy who sold it to you force you to give you the installation disks. I find a cattle-prod most persuasive. Without them, should you ever have a problem with the Mac . . . you are basically up a creek without a colostomy bag.

Right . . . go to the "Apple" icon up there, clicketh on it, and bring up "About This Mac" and post the full details of Model, Processor, RAM, HD, and OS version.

Then . . . do the same for your girlfriend's Mac. I suspect one of two things:

1. You do not have the same Macbook, which means it will not boot yours.
2. You do and it boots, but it has a higher updated System so the disk is confused.

In that case you have to click on the--sorry I do not know how to take a picture of it--"Options" that will also you to Clean Install, Archive and Install, and Erase and Install.
