Q: How do I erase drive and prep to give away? Macbook , late 2008, running 10.5.8

Macbook 13 inch , purchased brand new late 2008. running OSX 10.5.8 Lepord


I have a macbook I am having a few issues with when I am prepping to give away.

 

The only success I have had to get any where past the gray screen, with Apple logo and spinning wheel, is to use Command-S.

 

Once in Single User Mode, from what I can tell from the coding, it looks like I last set it up to boot from Internet Recovery. The Macbook will not boot up entirely.  I had it started up last week when I pulled anything I wanted off the hard drive with no issue.


recommendations on completely erasing the mac book to give to my sister?


Thanks!
