The original install discs are not machine specific - they are 'line' specific.
A set of discs that came with a 2.4GHz white macbook will also work on the black macbook and all other macbooks that were released in early 2008 as part of the same line of macbooks.
HOWEVER... if the machine is running snow leopard, you will be told that you can not install on this computer. You will first need to wipe the drive (to remove the newer OS) - THEN install. You can't install an older OS over a newer OS.
