Reinstalling Mac OS X on 13″ Aluminum MacBook

I’ve had two MacBooks for awhile now, one a 13″ aluminum and the other a newer 17″ Pro. I mostly used the 13″ for QuickBooks and storing scanned receipts but not much else. So decided to give it to my mom.

Before doing so I thought I’d reinstall Mac OS X. Kind of a long process but at least it requires little to no user interaction, simple process really. Then I’ll hand it over and show her how to use it (she’s always used PC’s but I think she’ll love the simplicity of a Mac).
