@Adam your advise worked don't know why I didn't think of doing it earlier. I just plugged in the Ethernet and booted the machine . After some time it asked if I want to do an internet recovery and it proceeded to download the recovery files, make a recovery partition for itself and it even managed to download the Mountain Lion OS and install it. All from the internet. Ofcourse a good connection is ideal for this. I am on the Zuku 8mbps and it took 4 hrs for installation to complete.

@odhiambo I have done this before but the problem was the disk I was replacing has been failing for a while with S.M.A.R.T errors since March 2013 and finally gave way a week ago.

If you don't manage to get these from Okechukwu (hope he's in Westlands area), then perhaps you ping me on Monday, but you must find a way to Wilson Airport. That is, if you don't find them elsewhere. Not Mavericks though... Mountain Lion...
BTW, does this mean you cannot clone an OS X HDD the way we do for Windows/Unix...??
