So I've searched and searched on google to format my Macbook Pro, they say to put in the original install disks then start up the Mac and go from there. Well when I do that nothing happens, and when I go to disk utilities it can do the erase files but I want to just format it and not external hard drives!

I suck with technical stuff!

Thanks everyone!

I think you may have to hold down the 'c' key when it starts up to get it to boot from the leopard cd.

http://manuals.info.apple.com/en/Leopard_Install-Setup.pdf may also be helpful (from page 5 onwards)
