I have a Dell Inspiron 1300 laptop PC. I want to restore it so its back to its factory state. I know you can use windows to turn back the clock to a previous state but it dosnt wipe the hard drive.

use the factory disc but push f12 when the first screen appear with the dell logo and scroll down to IDE cd hard drive and when you get to the screen that says set up new windows or repair don't click repair click set new windows then from there your hard drive should be emptying your whole hard drive and I'm only 17 years old ain't i a genius..lol..but hope that solves your problem:)

the best way would be to use the recovery disc that came with your pc,this restores the pc to the way it was when you took it out the box

I use toshiba. It has Product Recovery DVD ROM. It specified to resotore as factory default.
You can ask your shop, and buy likes that product.
The procedure is very very simple, just follow one by one instruction.
Good Luck.
