Insert your System Disc 1 and hold down the C key immediately upon powering up. Then, erase your hard disk before proceeding with installation.
Liquid and computers don't mix. It might seem simple, but we see an incredible amount of people post here about spills. Keep drinks and other liquids away from your expensive electronics! |

There is a good article from Macfixit linked on the Fix My Mac page in my signature. Worth a read before jumping in...
