Actually you don't need system restore discs. Open up your PC case. Connect your new hard drive to a secondary IDE connector. Then use the utility program that came with your new hard drive to make a copy of the old hard drive. There should be instructions on how to do this too.
I have done this when my original hard drive started going bad and immediately did a copy of everything on it to a new 120GB hard drive.
