As long as it still has a recovery partition you can get it back to the factory settings. Make sure its turned off first now press and hold down the 0 (zero) key while powering on the computer. When the computer powers on the TOSHIBA HDD recover screen displays. Just follow the prompts ........cheers from Scott
it will delete everything (all other software I have installed and all Data from comp) EXCEPT the anti -virus and the vista package cause they were only installed a couple of months ago?????? If it does delete absolutely everything how do I get the windows vista and anti virus with out the cd or activation codes etc ??????

You havent said what data you are trying to get rid of.........if its just some personal files just manually delete them or manually remove any programs you dont want to sell it with. You really need a back up device.......i recently bought a USB external HDD 500gig for $50 well worth the investment
sorry I want to get everything absolutely deleted except the windows vista & the anti virus I installed a few months ago but like I said don't have the activation codes or the CDs to put them back on to go to the new owner as I have stated that they are on there.
just go into control panel ..programs and features and manually delete them all.......you cant really do it any other way without installation media
