Q: Trying to make a bootable  drive so I can load OS X on new hard drive for my Macbook pro mid 2009

Have Macbook pro mid 2009 replacing the 250gigi hard drive with new 500 gigi hard drive. How can I make a bootable drive with OS X on it for new drive. DVD  of OS X I have failed.  Tried using my time machine to load also failed several times.  Can't find OS X on Apple site to make disc.
