Simply boot from the included OS X "Restore" CD/DVD, then follow the on-screen instructions to erase the hard drive and install Mac OS X fresh.

However: There are some little utilities etc. installed when it comes from the factory. These might or might not be on the installation DVD. IIRC, there's always _some_ stuff included from factory that's _not_ on the DVD.

I'm about to buy a new macbook for my wife, and was going to switch out the 60 gig HD for a 3rd party 160 gig HD (save money on space rather than buy from apple)

Is there a list of any extra software on the macbook that won't be on the restore CDs?
