factory reset / wipe clean for disposal
I would like to restore factory setting or wipe the laptop completely clean before getting rid of it.
I have a Dell Inspiron 9300 with Windows XP.
I have tried F* as it is starting to get to the Advanced Boot Options. But then there is no "Repair Your Computer" as suggested by other online info. Lots of choices, but not that one.
I have tried Ctrl-F11, many,, many times and in several different ways and it does nothing.
Anyone know how to do this?

Wipe clean before disposal is a sagacious decision. If you want to wipe all the laptop data completely one good alternative to DBAN is Bitraser tool
Few of the advantage of Bitraser over DBAN
1) Certified data erasing method.
2) 24*5 Support available
3) Compatible with Window XP, Vista, 7, 8,8.1,10
4) User friendly interface
