A thread started many times, i just couldn't think of the keywords to search, no doubt some clever clog will link me...

I need to delete all my partitions on my 2 TB HDD, and erase all data on them, back to factory settings, or as close as can be.

I also need to wipe both my SSD drives to factory settings.

I think i may have a dodgy partition somewhere, so im going to start a fresh.
 
You can use windows to format drives which is fine for HDDs. If you're on Win7, hit the start key and right click on "Computer" and click "Manage". Under storage click Disk Management and you'll be able to manage all disks there.

Depending on your SSD though a lot of vendors supply software which can "secure erase" an SSD taking it back to factory defaults (though the firmware changes will remain if you've upgraded it).
 
Theres a program called "Dariks Boot and Nuke" that will erase your hdd's. Be warned it will take forever for your 2tb drive!
