Hard drive dead. How to reinstall Windows 8 on a new, blank drive (HP Envy DV7 7332ea)

$

Had my hard drive fail on my HP Envy DV7 7332ea so I've decided to pop a SSD drive in there to speed things up a little.

 

Now, as the laptop didn't come with an install CD/DVD, can anyone enlighten me on how to install Windows 8 onto a brand, spanking new drive which doesn't have an existing install of Windows 8 on it?

 

I had tried making a recovery disk onto a USB stick a while back but it always failed and I never got around to sorting it out, so I don't even have that to fall back on (I know, I know - once burnt, twice shy as they say).

 

Hindsight is a great thing but right now I'm stuck with a laptop which I can't get working at all - can someone tell me what I'd need to do?

 

Thanks!
