It would be helpful if you indicated the EXACT model/year Mac that you have and the current OSX.

Ciao.

Your best chances of success to format and install the OSX is to use the original Snow Leopard disks that came with the MBP. When you have installed the original OSX, run the Snow Leopard combo update:

That will then meet the requirements to install any newer OSX (such as El Capitan).
