Hard Drive Help Question
Hi all, just wanted to preface this by saying I've been watching these forums for awhile now, and after this I plan on sticking around.
Anyways, I have a 3 year old Dell Inspiron 9300 that I wanted to sell. Before I do I want to make sure all my personal information is gone from the hard drive. Should I use a free hard drive eraser (can you recommend one?) and then install a new operating system like linux (Dell never gave me an XP OS disk)? OR should I just take out the hard drive (and keep it) and then sell the computer without a hard drive? What do you all think? Any other suggestions? I tend to keep personal info like baking statements on my computer so I cannot let any personal info stay on my comp (and I hear hd partitions don't fully remove info). Thanks! |
