You take your OS installer disc(s) and boot your computer from it. (On a Mac, you hit the power button then hold down the "c" key while your computer starts. It will take a while. Do not let the "c" key go until you get a window with instructions on it.) The disc should give you a few options. One should be something like "install operating system." Just follow the instructions. While you're there, run any disc utility that you may have to detect any damage to your computer.
