G'day and welcome to the forums.

Pop in the DVD. Reboot and hold down 'C' after the chime. Select language, leave Installer and go to Disk Utility > Erase Disk and then format Mac OS Extended (Journalled) into Partition > Options select single partition and make sure GUID is selected.

Return to the Installer and run and when connected update using Software Update in About this Mac.

You do need either the discs that came with the MacBook, or a full retail install DVD of Leopard or Snow Leopard.

In addition to what Harry advised, you're going to need to reset the PRAM on that machine before you start.
