Hard Drive failed in 13inch Macbook Pro mid 2009
Hello All,
I purchased a 13 inch mid-2009 Macbook Pro from my roommate a couple months ago. I know nothing about Macs, so here we go. Apple Store told that my Hard Drive has failed, and I needed a new one. I've been looking online and realized how cheap hard drives can be, plus how easy it is to replace it myself. My old hard drive was not backed up/ does not give a boot drive to login into (pretty much can't access anything past the login screen). I completely forget which operating system I used before. Pretty sure it was Yosimite.
I took a picture of the test results that Apple did

My questions are:
1) I do not know what kind of hard drive to buy for my Mac, to ensure it would work.
2) What do I need to do this?
-I know a new HD
-I know 2 screw drivers that fit the size
3) My roommate has no way to find his previous operating systems disks. If I take out and replace the HD, could I hit like option-command-r...or something like that and download a brand new OS online if I connect to the internet?
Everything else on my Mac worked perfectly fine, so a new HD is the only think I need.
Thanks!!
MacBook Pro, OS X Yosemite (10.10.1), I forget which one exactly
