Click here and follow the instructions. If the computer's firmware wasn't upgraded to use the Internet Recovery system, when you reach step 6, insert a compatible Mac OS X install DVD, restart with the C or Option key held down, use the Disk Utility to erase the internal drive, and install a fresh OS.
