Restore to Factory Settings no cd?

Hi,

I'm planning on restoring my laptop Fujitsu Siemens Amilo Pi1505 to it's orginal settings. I don't seem to have a recovery CD with it, only a drivers and utilities CD.

Would anybody know how to restore back to factory settings?

Thanks

    Restoring the system from the hard disk

    Your personal data could be lost during restoration of the factory default settings. The
    operating system is restored on the system partition on which the factory default
    settings were installed. Data on other partitions or hard disks is unaffected by this
    restore processes. Should your system be attacked by 'uninvited guests' from the Net,
    such as viruses, reformat all hard disks and restore your system with the system restore
    disks provided with the computer or which you have created.
    Caution If you would like to set up a RAID system on your PC or notebook, you must
    create your system restore disks before you do so.
    If you need to use these disks, it may first be necessary to terminate the
    RAID connection.
    Please also note that, in the case of RAID systems already installed, it is
    possible that restoring the hard disk as described below may not function.
    Caution! Personal data could be lost during restoration of the factory default settings.
