I think this program is capable of removing all of the sensitive data, but leaving the OS intact. I haven't used it myself for that purpose, only for individual files.

you should have got a disc with the computer, a recovery disc... dh says just put this in and follow the instructions.... if you haven't got a copy you should be able to download one
