How to get macbook to as if bought brand new-start up screen?

anewfoundsin · Dec 7, 2008

I want to sell a macbook and I want to make it so that the new user turns on the mac, the intro "welcome" from leopard appears and then asks to register.
How do I do that?? And by doing that it will erase all my info and files, right?

Basically do a 'Erase and Install' option from the install media, and at the very end it will say it's going to 'restart in X amount of seconds' When it does that, just turn it off.

When the new user boots it up for the first time, it will show the Welcome screen and let him do all the registration and good stuff like that.

The two disks that came with your Macbook (restore disks) are used to restore the Macbook,if you don't have them you can buy them off Amazon for about £30
