HP Pavilion dv4206TU Notebook PC

Hi folks,

My Dad recently passed away and I'm trying to completely wipe his old HP Pavilion dv4206TU Notebook PC.

It has a CD drive but I don't have the original disk.

It has Windows XP on it (!!) but it's highly corrupted and I can't register it with MS.

Is there a way to completely wipe the HDD?

regards

Scubayorp
