lost OSX install CDs. what to do?

[phuong]

it happens like this: i got a good deal on a 3-month-old MB (core duo) from my neighbour who's leaving the country for good.
so i bought it - even though i already have a MBP (core 2 duo) and a MP.
i checked it thoroughly and paid money. 1 month later (today) my GF wants to get it, so i wanted to do a fresh install, so i realized that i forgot to ask for the OSX CDs. it's impossible to get them now because the guy's already gone.

so, is it possible to get another copy of it (say, from Apple)? or do i have to buy a new one?

hmm

Will the cd's that came with your MBP not work on the MB? If they don't then boot the MB into target disk mode (hold down T after the startup chime) and hook it up to the MBP with a firewire cable. The MB's hd will mount on the MBP's desktop. insert the install cd's into the MBP and run the installer. when it asks you what drive you want ot install on, select the MB's.

Call Apple, and it'll likely be around $19.95 for a new set of DVDs for the machine.
