Im returning a computer and want everything on my hardrive whiped before I send it back. How do I do this?
 
Actually I think that there is a utility in windows to do it. Go to start>help and support and then look around in there.
 
You can buy a disk sanitizer or get it for free - this will nullify all data on the disk. There's a lot to choose from. DO NOT format and just call it a day - formatting does not erase files - they are recoverable (that's why some people don't panic and jump to conclusions if they format a wrong drive or partition) - there are utilities that will recover all of the data (or most if there has been some write activities) but anyways, use a disk sanitizer.
