    Formatting a hard disk

    I have inherited a lap top that boots up only. Someone has tried to delete things and has obviously deleted the wrong things . I can do no more that boot up. It is a vista os. I would like to totally clean the hard drive and reformat it for windows 10. Is there a utility that will do this?

    The OS should have a format command.
    but that just erases the disk, you need Windows OS disks to run the install.
    it also runs a format as it installs.
