MBP 1,1-10,2 DVD for HD wipe early 2008 MBP

I have an early 2008 15" MBP that I wish to recycle. The HD has been empty for 10 years as I held on to this laptop for sentimental reasons. I loved the keyboard in this pre-unibody model.
Is there somewhere I can get the DVD to boot from to initialize the HD?

The retail Snow Leopard installer (download no. 2 here) will boot the machine and allow you partition and format (initialise) the HDD, as well as install Snow Leopard if desired.

Many thanks.
