I have a Sony Vaio VGN-FW235D and I am using Windows Vista which came with the computer. I want to get rid of all documents and settings, but I do not have a windows disk. Is there any way to wipe the computer without the disk?
Thanks

Sony:
The key to use is F10 at Sony logo on startup to access the Recovery Partition. This should wipe the drive clean and restore it back to factory new settings.
