The recovery partition should let you restore your mac to a supported version of Mac OS X. If your computer has a corrupt recovery partition, you will need to find a retail copy of Mac OS X supported by your machine (DVD or USB depending on what your machine supports), boot off that, format the entire drive with Disk Utility, then do a clean install. Posting copyrighted files is strictly against the forum rules. You are on your own for finding a copy of Mac OS X if you need it.
