disk utility downloads

Have reinstalled OS X 10.5.8 on a G5, but Utilities folder is empty. Probably emptied for disk space prior to this install. How can I get the utilities back; particularly Disk Utility:?

PowerMac, Mac OS X (10.5.8)

Hello, reapply the 10.5.8 big combo update...

Repair Permissions afterwords, reboot.

1058 Combo Update, 10.5.8...

Or, Get Pacifist...

Hi Rory, did you double click on it?

Where did you install it from?

Was it the correct version for your OSX version?

In Finder do a Get Info on it, report version, size & Rights please.
