Returning computer - how do I delete all my files/info?

Hi everyone,
I'm returning the computer I just bought (faulty keyboard) and need to erase all my files/personal data. I already transferred it to a new computer, just need to get the one being returned back to like the day I bought it. Any help appreciated. I have Windows 7

If it were me, I would probably use Darik's boot & nuke to completely erase the drive, and then use the recovery partition/recovery disks on the system to reinstall the original software.
