Failed hard drive, no OS disk, no boot dvd

HI All,

My hard drive failed. I tried disk utility and it says that something is wrong with the boot sector. I was able to get some files off of it before Full failure, but now it just spins and does nothing.

I bought a new SSD to use, but I cannot for the life of me get it started!

I have no OS on a cd, dvd, boot drive or anything.

Here is what I did. I am hoping someone can help me

1) Using another macbook pro, I formatted my SSD to Mac OS X extended

2) Using my failed MBP, I put the new SSD into the hard drive bay. This was not recognized by the system.

3) I put the failed hard drive back into the drive bay, hooked up both my time machine backup drive and my new SSD to the USB ports.

4) I was able to restore the time machine backup to the SSD (hooked up via USB. PErfect! I see all my files!

5) I then removed the SSD from the USB and installed the SSD into the hard drive bay of the laptop and booted up. Nothing. Flashing folder again.

Can someone please tell me what I did wrong? Why isnt the SSD being recognized when I put it in the hard drive bay!??
