MacBook 4,1

I have a 2008 MacBook 4,1 and I would like to factory reset the HD. What is the best way to wipe the HD and reset back to factory settings?

See the following Apple Support article for information on resetting a Mac: What to do before you sell, give away, or trade in your Mac - Apple Support

Note that you will skip step 2 as it applies to newer Macs; yours will be erased using the other steps.
