I got a new harddrive for my macbook and am trying to download mac os x 10.5 but nothing is happening when i put in the disk

When i put in the 10.5 disk to download, nothing happens. It recognizes that there is a disk in there but it doesn't do anything about it.
Do i need a different operating system or a new motherboard or what?

Do you mean you want to reinstall Leopard? If you want to boot from your Leopard DVD do this:
Booting From An OS X Installer Disc
1. Insert OS X Installer Disc into the optical drive.
2. Restart the computer.
3. Immediately after the chime press and hold down the "C" key.
4. Release the key when the spinning gear below the dark gray Apple logo appears.
5. Wait for installer to finish loading.
