Two ways.
1) Restore the system using the restore CD and
choose ERASE and RESTORE.
2) Boot from the Restore CD and Run DISK
UTILITY. Initialize the Drive.
I always partition my drives with at least 2
partitions. One to install the Applications to and
one for the System. The system is less likely to
become corrupted and if I do have to restore the
system, all of my applications are still there.
