Hello, i am currently trying to sell my laptop but need to do a complete data restore to its factory settings. I have looked online for how to do this but they always say that i need the windows disk. Is there anyway of deleting all data without using the windows disk.

Thank you, Sam.

Forgot to mention but its windows 7, Samsung, and its model is NP-N110
 
It already had windows 7 on it and the options are:
Restore
Backup
System software

I clicked on restore and then it gives me three more options with descriptions:
Basic restore;quickly restores only the major windows files while maintaining the data on drive c:.

Complete restore;overwrites the entire drive c: with a backup image to restore the computer completely.

Data restore;restores user data with the backup data.
 
I clicked on data restore but it has an error message which says "unable to find backup file information"

Also the laptop has more than one drive.
And as well as that i just read the link you gave me and when i press F4 the only option it gives me is Samsung recovery solution 4 where as the link you gave is 3. Not sure if that will make a difference :).
