installing new hard drive

lukesp

I have a Macbook Pro 2010, the hard drive crashed and Im going to replace it. I just want to know how I get osx on the drive. It came with Snow Leopard preinstalled with no disk and Lion is only digital download. How will I do this with out the use of a disk. I know they have the new Online Recovery on the newer macbooks but Im not sure mine will have this as a feature becaused they releseased it after I purchased it.

Also and tips for the installation or on buying a new drive would be helpful. Thanks tonssss!

Nope must have the DVD, and need to install Snow first then reupgrade to Lion. Else pop into the Apple Store and ask for a Lion Stick.
