my hard drive died yesterday and i have to buy a new hard drive and install a fresh copy of MAC OS on it but i have no OS on disk so i have to buy a new package.

where is the best/cheapest place to buy it?
also is there a way/website i can get it for free?

PLEASE HELP!! I DONT FEEL LIKE SPENDIN HUNDREDS!!!!
 
You spend exactly 129$ for the latest version of OS X.

Or if you can prove, that you bought the computer, Apple will send you replacement disks for it, for a little fee of 10-20$ (USD).
If you had Mac OS 10.3, you get 10.3 and so on.

There is also eBay.

And some strange rules here forbid the talk about pirating. https://macrumors.zendesk.com/hc/en-us#Things_Not_to_Do

And if you have to ask where to find free software, then you can't research properly.

Just give Apple a ring! You'll probably have to provide a serial #. And pirated versions almost always have a trojan or two.

Just eBay it.
 
Call to Apple and ask what to do. I think they'll send you replacement disks for that 20$ if you tell them your situation.

Pirating is not allowed so I can't give you any links for direct download 😡

BTW is it forbidden to tell someone how to find good torrents?

Stop acting like 11 years old kid. You can use your own brains and hands to find it. Google it or look from Apple's site. Here is a direct link
