Wife's laptop is not working properly. I backed up all files on an external hard drive and want to bring it back to factory settings

It is a Satellite a305-s6825
Windows Vista

I have surfed the web and have not found the right answer about restoration

Upon Start I tap F8
then Fix computer

New Screen comes up

Startup Repair
System Restore
Windows Complete PC Restore (from backup image, which I dont have)
Windows Memory Diagnostic Tool
Command Prompt
Toshiba Recover Wizard - need Discs which I dont have

A few sites said to hit "full destructive mode" but have not found this....

Can someone help?

Maybe try to do a system restore if you can get into windows, but go as far back as it will let you , if not there's lots of other ways you can do it to. :)
