Replacing dead hdd, having to boot from disc?

crwdns2934249:0crwdne2934249:0:

I hope you can help.  I am having to replace my hdd that died in my Macbook Pro 17".  Using a 750gb.  I do not have a boot backup in Time Machine, therefore, must boot from the original discs.  The ones I have are version 10.5.2 and I was running 10.5.8.  How will I get back to what I was running?  Use an upgrade option from Apple?  I am a novice and have been studying your info for days on swapping out the drive and it is very clear and helpful.  Just need to know what to do to get back to where I was.  I do have my data backed up.

Thank you,
