Selling my old vista computer. How do delete everything?

This computer was given to me by my company after they went out of business. Im selling it and want to delete everything. I don't have a vista cd to reboot it. Is there a way I can delete items so the buyer won't be able to recover them?

    yes, after you deleted those items, you need CCLEANER then use its drive wiper on the Tool tab..

    then no more recovery of those deleted files..

    Does it have a DVD drive capable of burning discs? If so, find a free copy of win7 or any other OS, then put the disc in and turn it off and on again, booting from disc. Select system format and you're set
