The good news is this is well discussed. The bad news is that the answer is no. Without the CD/DVDs to restore the machine it has never been done.

I have an Advent 7203 laptop about 4 years old that i want to give my son but i need to wipe it first. It has windows vista and i don't have any restore discs so how do i wipe it of all my junk and programs that i have downloaded since i bought it? Appreciate any help given.
