Get a Windows disc and format your HDD that way.

If you don't have a copy, download a retail version [ Register or Signin to view external links. ] and burn it to a disc.

Reinstall your OS.

If you do not own a disk. Burn a torrent off the internet.

Make sure you run a clean install and not a upgrade as that will not remove the files.
