Replace Laptop Hard Drive (Part 1 of 2)

[1717now]

Question for you. If i install a new HDD on my laptop, my old hdd would have the OS--the pre-installed OS that came with the laptop when i bought it. Once the new HDD is installed, can i use the disks that came with the laptop to reinstall the OS? or do i need to buy a full version of the OS for the HDD?

Your tutorial is by far the best one I have come across. The hard drive to my Toshiba completely died on me. I found walkthroughs on the internet but video walkthroughs are more convenient. Because of the close-up of your work, it was easy to follow. Now I can use my Toshiba again. My You saved me about $200 for Geek Squad to replace it. Many thanks!!!!!
