I have a Macbook 2.4 GHz with Mac OS X and Windows XP installed and the thing is as slow and as buggy as can be. I want to wipe it completely clean but my disk drive is broken and I do not know where my restore disks are anyway...

My question is how do I restore my Macbook (with Leopard) to factory defaults (getting rid of all users, programs, files, Windows) without the restore disks?

Please Help,

You cant, sorry. Find the discs then you can do it.

A 2.4 Macbook is still under warranty. Get it fixed. Apple should replace your discs since it is such a new computer.

No way to completely restore it? I know all of the PCs I owned were able to do so through the BIOS?

Anyway at all I can do it on my Mac? I am open to any ideas... My disc drive doesn't work...

PLEASE ADVISE,

No you can't restore on PCs with the BIOS either; what you're thinking of are those restore partitions on the HDD and no Apple doesn't not have that.

You need the original DVDs.
