installing OS on new HD

Текст:

Hi;

I installed a new harddrive in a mc mini I got off e-bay. I was using superduper to clone the original HD, but it seems to have crapped out and just keeps clicking and not spinning up.

I need to install the OS on the new HD, but the mini did not come with install discs.

I do have a legal version of the 10.5 install disc - so my question is: how can I install os 10.5 on the new hard drive (formatted by attaching it to another mac)?

Should I reset the PRAM and replace the little backup battery on the main PCB?

THanks

== Update ==

I should have aded that I also swapped out the old combo drive for a new superdrive. Apparently the superdrive is not so super and wouldn't read the OS X install disc. Need to troubleshoot the drive to make sure it's not DOA.
