hi, i was wanting to sell my computer, is there any way i
can restore my computer to the way it was when i bought
it, do i need a disk or something, i want to remove
everything and have full memory
 
Greetings --

I should think that simply booting from the Recovery CDs that came
with it would do the trick.

To protect your personal information and data from any future
users of average skills, you should, at the very least, format the
hard drive and reinstall only the OS and those applications whose
licenses you are selling along with the computer. If you wish to do a
more thorough job of protecting your personal data, WipeDrive 2.2.1
(http://www.accessdata.com/Product07_Overview.htm?ProductNum=07) meets
U.S. DoD standards for securely cleaning surplus unclassified hard
drives, and could be used before formatting and reinstalling the OS
and applications.
