I am selling my desktop and was going to reinstall Vista to delete all the files I had on it, just want to make sure this would happen or if not what else I should do. I dont want the buyer to be able to view any files I had personal or business... Help is appricated!
Running the program but taking a while...time frame you could give me? Il probably just fall asleep while it does its thing.
Format, or do a complete clean install. Or, do a system restore to bring it back to Factory settings.
there is no way to guarantee someone cannot recovery data from an hard drive. the fbi, csi, nsa all reset the hard drive to all 0's alteast 7 times to get a secure enough deletion.
want more security? go through the steps from above, then create a back up, replace the hard drive, then restore back up on the new HDD
That's what SHE SAID! Sorry I took a while with this TWSS, people; I was on the r****ded, virgin, 12-year-old, Faker fan thread having fun.
I would get something that wipes the disk clean and then reinstall Vista. If you do a clean install with Vista, it puts all of your old files in a "Windows (old)" file on the C: drive.
