When you start up your MCB (MacBook?) hold down the option key when you hear the chime. This will bring up a screen allowing you to choose which drive to boot from. Put the first Mac OS X CD into the drive and when it appears, select it. I'll boot from the CD and you should be able to do a clean install of Mac OS X

When it asks you what drive to use, click options, then you can choose to reformat the drive, if this is what you're wanting.
