Im goona nuke my hard drive[Dod wipe] But will i be able to pretty much able to have my factory image and just re-install wiindows with that?
Yes. The dod wipe will delete all information including the partition but windows will create a new partition and you'll have your hard drive back. Which software are you planning to use?

okay wait so When i wipe my drive, it deletes every thing even the binary stored there? and also how do i get my windows back up i dont have the installer disc but can i use the Factoy image reset disc thing?
To reinstall windows you need the windows cd. You can download this cd elsewhere or you can borrow it from someone. While I was searching I found two useful sources. A tutorial:

And many questions and corresponding answers:

In the last source this was included:
Quote:Q: Why does my computer start into a black screen after using DBAN?
A: You must reinstall an operating system because DBAN removes it.
So it definitely is possible!
Why don't you just tap F11 on startup and do a system restore?
