I'm going to be inhereting my Dads old vaio laptop, I intend to just use it as a netbook around the house. I have to first remove my dads accumulated crap though.
How would I go about this?
Is there a quick and simple way to do this?
Do I require the original drivers for it?

There is nothing I need to keep on it currently except operating system (windows xp)

Any advice will be greatfully received! And if you could keep REALLY simple that would be brilliant as my IT knowledge is OK but basic!

The model is a: SONY vaio FS VGN-FS115B

Cheers Mat

Did it come with recovery discs?

Yeah it probably did but knowing my old man he has put them somewhere "safe" is it possible to download recovery files?

Check out one of the sub-forums at TSF. You might have to wait a day or so but the people on there know their sh1t.
