I'm looking at getting a refurbished macbook pro sometime next week.

I was planning on upgrading the hard drive to a Seagate Momentus XT Hybrid right away. So do refurbished macs include the osx disk? If so will I be able to just pop in the new hard drive and put the osx disk in and install osx?

Thanks for any help,
Chris :apple:
 
Most refurbished macs come with Lion, for which install discs don't exist. You should be able to install Lion on the new HD using web restore, but the solutions that simsa posted might be more convenient and faster.
