A simple method, first I would suggest zeroing the drive using the Disk 
Utility. The zeroing is via an option in the Erase tab. This takes a 
while, but is as close as you can get to removing your personal data 
from the drive safely.

Then, just install X from your startup disks and when done, shut down. 
When they startup, there you are.

Black.
