Just go to the start button, all programs, accessories, and click on the
command prompt. At the c; prompt in the window, type the following:
Format
C:
answer all of the questions with "yes"
This will totally wipe
the hard drive of all info.
If you have the original installation
disks, you may want to give them to the new owners. It will make it
easier to reload the operating system and drivers.,
so basically you should Format the drive, then install an operating system
such as xp, or
windows 7 .... it should install most of the correct drivers. If you
have the original disks that came with the computer, use
those.You may
have to go to the manufactures website to find the exact drivers for the
video and sound cards., but that should pretty much return it to
factory settings. If you are really picky and have the bucks, you can
contact SONY for the original disks.
PLEASE CLICK ON SOME THUMBS
UP FOR THE ADVICE!!!
