Try this...


Startup into the Startup Manager holding the Option (Alt) key.

From there, you should be able to select the Macintosh HD and startup from it.


If not...?

Then you will need to reformat the Hard Drive using the original Install Disc set or a Snow Leopard upgrade DVD.

Install OS X and upgrade it to the latest OS X that it can run.

FWIW..

If you decide to run a later OS X than the original version, you will need to get/buy a retail Snow Leopard upgrade DVD.

Update it to 10.6.8 and then use the App Store to upgrade to the latest version that, that Mac can run.
