Need help to wipe computer to give as gift

Hello ,

I have an old computer, I need to wipe it from having personal stuff on it. It is a Dell 2350 and the OS is Windows XP. I do not have the discs any more for this puter due to being scratched and damaged by kids and dog. I need to know how step by step to go in and wipe it just down to OS. I wanna leave windows but erase all other programs and pics, music, etc. without having to reload windows... if that is possible

Could some one give me the play by play on how to dump all but OS please.

Thank you.

This has been covered in a previous thread t averitt214. Welcome to DAL by the way.

Removing all but the Operation System...
