Donating computer

Hello, I have a 2007 MacBook. I’m trying to erase my data to donate. Every time I shut it off and press any combination of command option P R. I’m not getting the utility screen. I am at a loss for how to safely donate this devise. Any help to clear the computer would be greatly appreciated.

Click here and follow the instructions. 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.
