How do I reformat my Macbook Pro (Intel) so that I can re-install the Mac OS?

Here is the problem guys..





I just bought a Macbook Pro and I wanted to install Windows Professional on it through Bootcamp. So, I booted from the Windows disk and it gave me three partitions (because I had already partitioned it once before) to choose from to format for Windows. Being the idiot that I am I chose the one running Tiger on it and it completely wiped out everything. Now I have absolutely nothing on my computer. When I turn it on it is completely blank and it does nothing. I tried to run just straight windows but it doesn't seem to completely install the OS so that I can run it. I am a college student and I need my computer like a farmer needs rain!!





Please someone help me.


I have two papers due this week on top of a huge case problem that I had half way done on my computer and completely lost..

Put the OSX disc in and turn on the computer while holding the C key. It will pretty much walk you through the rest.
Reply:1. You probably know now, but you need to setup the Windows partition with the Boot Camp tool from OSX.





2. Try booting from your Mac OS X DVD. That should give you some options to change your formatting with Disk Utility, and should then be able to re-install your OS.





Good luck. I'm a student, too, so I really sympathize.
