Un-installation of everything on the computer?

I want to un-install absolutely everything from my dell laptop, I have my files saved onto another computer, so that’s taken care of. I already know how to reinstall vista, but I just need to start completely over. Does anyone know how to do this?

    If your Dell has a recovery partition, you can access it by pressing a specific key during startup (often F8 or F12) to restore to factory settings, which will wipe everything and reinstall the original OS.
