Removing Vista

Hello

First if all I've used search but didn't find anything definitive to my question, it was all in relation to dual boot systems....

Anyway, I've recently moved on from having Vista installed on a single HDD to a fresh install on a RAID volume. This leaves me with a single HDD with Vista installed that is not going to be used again therefore I want to remove all traces of it and have this as a general storage drive.

How do I get rid of it though? Will a full format suffice or do I need to take any other steps first?

Just to confirm this is not a dual boot system and the RAID install is stable so I'm happy to get rid of the old install.

Thanks.

Mike

Umm.... a full format will probably do it.

Unless you have child porn or killer virus on the drive, further measure that a format is pretty pointless. (generally).
