    Default Erase entire computer

    I am giving my old laptop to my sister because she is leaving for college on wednesday. What is the best way to get rid of everything on the computer? The only thing I need to keep on there is the operating system. I don't have a windows disk so I can't boot from that and format the hardrive. Any help appreciated. Thanks.

    This is why you always have the OS cd. Reformatting is 100% faster and easier than anything.

    Yeah, poker, pron, music...etc just pretty much the essentials. Either way, I don't want everything to be cluttered for her.

    I know, and I can't find it. You would think I would have kept it somewhere I could find it quickly. I'm still looking for it. Is there another way w/o the disk that isn't so much a hassle?

    Did it have an OS cd? A lot of laptops have the system restore on the harddrive.

    What brand is it?
