Go into the BIOS and set the optical drive as the first boot device. Put the OS CD in the drive and exit the BIOS. The computer will reboot to the OS CD. Follow the on-screen instructions and choose the option to do a fresh install.

You can set the BIOS to default if it has that option in the menu screens. If not, with the computer unplugged from the wall outlet remove the motherboard battery for about 15 minutes. This will clear the CMOS and you'll start with a "clean" BIOS (no custom options selected).
