That will probably be quite difficult.


First, you'd need to know exactly which version of (presumably) Snow Leopard yours came with. You can try this site:

If yours came with a version older than 10.6.3, there are full update 10.6.3 install disks you can find at various places and those can be used for an erase and install. If it came with something newer than 10.6.3, then you have a problem.
