Re: [XP Home] Selling Computer....Best Way To Get Rid Of Data
said by lordpuffer  :Hi....I am selling my desktop and before I do, I want to get rid of all of the sensitive, private data that may be in it such as credit card numbers, passwords, etc. I do not want to wipe my hard drive clean. I want the person who buys it to have a fully loaded, working system. Without spending any money for software, what is the best way to make sure that all of this data is gone when I sell it? Thanks. I know you don't want to wipe it clean, but the only way to be sure is to follow some of the suggestions below.
Boot and Nuke, reinstall Windows and all security updates and throw on either AVG or AVAST!.
Make sure you have your recovery/Windows discs.
