Windows Installation?

HP Pavillion Slimline s5120y, the hard drive went bad and I have installed a new one. The pc had Windows Vista Home Premium installed on it when I got it from Best Buy. I have recovery discs but not sure as to how to use these to get windows back on. I'm also not sure what order they should go as they are not numbered. The Microsoft proof of license is on the pc, is there a way to use that to get it back? I appreciate any help or advice.
