Post Body

I accidentally partitioned my entire HD to FAT, and I guess accidentally deleted OS X. When I try to boot from the installation DVD, the screen goes gray and that power symbol comes up telling me to restart. The boot menu doesn't recognize my linux live USB. My dad thinks I might have fucked with the BIOS. Prior to this, I had installed REEFIT so that I could boot the live USB.

If you couldn't tell, I'm a pretty big n00b. A million gay kisses to whomever can help me get it up and running again. Undying gratitude will have to suffice if you're a lady.
