Factory Reset/Wipe Laptop

I have an old Dell Latitude D620 which is on its last legs.

I want to wipe everything off it so I can get rid of it safely. The Internet tells me to press F8 on start up then go into Repair your Computer but I don't have this option on the menu. Other searches say to insert the start up CD but I cant find this anywhere.

I am running Windows XP.

Any ideas how I can wipe my laptop?

Thanks

Is that something I need to install?

Assuming you don't need to install the OS, just use Darik's Boot and Nuke to wipe the drive.

For some reason the laptop won't install it, any other ideas?

Thanks
