Unfortunately you'd need the DVDs/CDs to do this. You could start-up the Mac from an external hard disk with Mac OS X on and format the drive, but you'd need the original OS Install CDs to put the operating system back on.
Can you borrow an install CD/DVD from someone local?

Quick question for you Jools, is there any way to, or any third party software that will allow a mac to VPN with a windows machine?
A Customer of ours has been asking us about it for ages, if it's not possible to VPN is there anything like
realVNC that is available in both PC and MAC formats?

There's a VPN client built-in to the Mac OS. Check here:
Mac OS X 10.4 Help: Connecting to a Virtual Private Network
I've no experience of VPNs, but from what I've read it should be relatively painless!

Yeah, we tried that but we couldn't get it to talk to the Windows 2003 machine at the other end or vice-versa. After trying all of the obvious stuff (protocol settings, firewalls etc.) we still couldn't get it going and so kind of gave up
Thanks for the link, though. At least I know now that it is indeed possible, it's got to be something we're doing wrong and not just an incompatibility problem
