If it's a compaq, hp, or most other store-bought systems, it should come with a restore CD. Just run that and it'll be back to the way it was when you got it.

Go to http://www.ultimatebootcd.com/ and burn yourself a disc. One of the tools on the CD (AutoClave) is a disk wiper which will do what you want.
