    Back up your data files.

     

    Use the Snow Leopard installer disc to completely erase your hard drive and everything on it.

     

    Re-install the SL operating system, then all your applications, then your data files.

     

    If you happened to make a bootable backup clone of your hard drive before installing Mountail Lion then you can just clone the backup back to your drive.
