im going to be selling one of my laptops soon and want to do a secure format on it.
the kind of thing that formats, and then runs a delete on all the empty data like you can on a mac, so nothing can be retreived as the delete function has basically gone over the empty sectors of the disk time and time again.
does anyone know of a program that does this, as i dont really want anyone accessing any of my personal data, and i dont want to fork out for a new hdd when i want to sell it.
