You can wipe your hard drive w/ Darik's Boot And Nuke.

Just download the iso file & burn it to a CD, then boot the computer w/ it. Here are some documentation: http://www.dban.org/documentation

Put your windows disk in and restart your pc.

Follow onscreen prompts for factory restore.

That's hard to say, you haven't provided any information about your laptop.

Do you have a Recovery CD that came with the laptop or do you have a newer laptop that has a Recovery partition?

Would be nice to know operating system, make and model number of laptop.

That's a good point. Recovery partition didn't cross my mind when I suggested using DBAN to wipe & start fresh.
