Hold Command and R keys while your Mac is starting up to start up in OS X Recovery, and reinstall OS X. This is the main advantage of OS X Mavericks: you do not need any DVD to reinstall OS X.


If you cannot start up in OS X Recovery, hold Command, Option (Alt) and R keys while your Mac is starting up to start up in Internet Recovery. All Late 2010 and newer MacBooks Air support this mode.
