Can anyone tell me the quickest and best way to totally wipe a PC?
Preferably without having to buy one of the wiping programs.
Is there a step by step guide anywhere? I've been looking around but everything seems to cost.
*This is for a friend, so I won't know the answers to any questions regarding type of PC etc..
Use the hard drive software and zero fill it 10 times over, that's like teh cheapest way.
Heidi Eraser - it's free, will allow the creation of a DBAN (Darik's Boot And Nuke) floppy, is configurable. Use it all the time.
Much appreciated, ta!:)
I'll second that. I use DBAN on a floppy disc to wipe every machine i sell on, and eraser on most machines as an individual file wipe program.Quote:
