Anna,

This procedure is going to completely clear the hard drive, partitions and all. In order to do this follow these steps:

1. Insert the Mac OS Install disk into the optical drive.

2. Restart the computer and hold down the "C" key.

3. if you need to use a wireless mouse you will be prompted to turn it on so the computer will detect it.

4. choose a language and then press the right arrow key.

5. Go to the Utilities Menu and click on "Disk Utility".

6. Choose which drive you want to erase.

7. Go to the Partitions tab and click on the 1 partition.

8. Go to Options and choose the Master Boot Record for the partition scheme, choose "ok".

9. From the Format window you can make any choice you want, click "Apply".

10. the drive is now erased and you can close the Disk Utility.
