You computer should've come with 1-2 Disks in the box.
These are restore disks, put disk 1 in the drive and restart while holding down "C". Follow the instructions.

Are you SURE they are CD's? No new Mac comes with CD's that I have ever seen. Do the discs have an Apple on them? What do they say on the front?
Surfwax is correct on how to reinstall.

It did come with a 2 disc install set for 10.4 OS.. I guess they're DVD's, no CD's not sure. I inserted the 1st disc and pressed and held C at startup and it went into the whole installation process again. Then when I got to the partition part it said that I can either transfer my files or erase and start over. I did buy it from a local mac store if that makes any difference. My iBook G4 came with install discs AND restore discs though.
