You are talking about doing a Destructive Recovery.
Turn off the computer and then tap the F10 key repeatedly upon pushing the power button. Once the black screen with the hash lines at the bottom appears you can stop tapping. When the next screen comes up take it from there. The Destructive Recovery option is under the Advanced Options button.

These instructions, will clean everything off of your hard drive, so you must back up anything that you want to save. I have done this three times, and I got these instructions, from a computer tech. When starting your computer, tap the F-10 key. click on next-yes-and follow the instructions, that come up on your screen. When you are finished, your computer, will look just like it did, when you first bought it.Do these steps, in order, when finished.
1. set up windows firewall
2. windows update (click express)
3. install your anti-virus program (update)
4. install anti-spyware (update)
This is called a "system recovery"

One of my Computer-Buddies Told me that the best way to wipe out a computer is put the Windows, or OS disk in a re-boot. Then choose to install the OS, and it will ask you to re-format the drive and then install the OS. This will wipe out everything on the disk and make it 'brand-new'

You should have received some "restore disks",
If yr feeling brave:
If not & if you have windows XP, look for a folder called i386 on Drive C. in that folder is a file called winnt32.exe, run that & enter the code on the side of your Computer, chose to install XP in a different folder than c:\windows. follow Prompts.
