I've been using Windows 8 on my personal computer and 7 before that.  My wife hands me her Inspiron 1520 and asks me to reset it to factory settings so she can sell it without fear of any of her data surviving. So, tell me, what's the cleanest way of accomplishing this?  I have the original OS disk and Utilities disk, so I'm in good shape there.  Just, what's the best way to approach this project. Thanks as always for any help that can be offered, BSB
