You also likely don't have iTunes, iDVD, or iPhoto. These are all part of iLife, not OSX. If you don't own a copy already, head off to the Apple Store.

Actually, iTunes is free.

The rest of those Apps are not free, and came bundled with your computer, but they are not part of the Operating System.

You might want to contact Apple for a replacement set of install disks.

Yep...if you've lost your original install disks, then you've lost Garageband, iPhoto, iMovie, iDVD and every other bundled app.

You can try calling Apple and see how much they would charge for replacements. Apple charged me twenty-something dollars for a replacement restore disk that was scratched and unreadable.
