Q: How to install new hard drive on Macbook

My macbook HD crashed.  Though I have bought a new Macbook Pro, I would like to resurrect my old Macbook, by buying a new hard drive.  (It had an 80 GB drive, and those appear to be really inexpensive).   Two questions.

1)  If I buy and install the new HD, how do I get a new Operating system on the HD.

2)  I think that Apple keeps a record of my devices, and their OS's.   If I went to the Apple Genius Bar, would they replace my OS for free and install it for me?
