You will need to start the iMac from the Mac OS X installation disc. Insert the disc, restart the computer and hold down the C key while it starts up.
From the Mac OS X installation options you can choose to Erase and install which will wipe your hard drive and install a fresh copy of Mac OS X.
If you choose Archive and Install it will create a new System and put the old system files in a folder called Previous system. It will not wipe the entire hard disc.
If you use the Erase option remember that you will lose everything so keep a back up copy of anything you may want to keep.
