Hi to do a clean install: 1. Boot from your snowleopard DVD. TO do this, hold the C key down as you insert the DVD and turn your mac on.
2. When the drive stops spinning i.e the DVD-rom drive, press command f 5 or, function key command f 5 to turn on voiceover if using a laptop computer. 3. After you reach the language chooser and click next go to the menu bar, with control, option m, i.e. the voice over keys plus the letter m and go to the right with right arrow to utilities. From there, choose disc tility and press enter. 4. Then after choosing your macintosh HD drive click the erase tab and follow the instructions.
