Bought a macbook with a wiped HDD and now i need to install OS

I have tried following the steps to this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4OpF0jJMJzI but keep getting a prohibited  error. I only have  a windows PC to try and create a bootable  OS but I am getting nowhere, please help!
Have you tried to boot into the mac integrated recovery to download the OS from there directly to the mac?

get the free version of transmac, then get your .dmg for whatever osx version you want
tranmac has an option to format for apple/mac
make your bootable usb this way
Install windows on the Mac then do it that way which has worked for me previously.

How can I do that?
I would download Yumi or Universal USB installer...or whatever bootable usb creator you like and download the latest OSX ISO from a website like geintopc.co.
Create a bootable USB, startthe macbook from it and use the disk manager from the installer to repartition the drive. Then install your OSX...

Let me know if you need more info

Thanks for the response. I will definitely try this tomorrow, now I must head to work. Will keep you updated!

Thanks again.
I still haven't got my MacBook running. I think my only option is to try with another MacBook? I might have to go into the Apple Store and do it off one of their macs
Guys I still haven't got this laptop up and running is there's any other suggestions?
Wiped HDD? lol.
You can still access his files probably...

I wouldn't want to. I just wanna get this laptop up and running!lol
If you have a friend with a macbook ask them if you could clone there hard drive then from there place it in your laptop and start the factory recovering procedures.
