A quick google of 'hard drive wipe' or something similar comes up with a bunch of stuff. That's what I'd do, get a program that kills everything but Windows...

I use on one on a backup harddrive when/if my pc crashes.


I was thinking there was a way do delete everything on the haddrive thru command prompt.

I know it's pcworld, but if you look around a bit, you'll find a good 'shredder'. I'll bet this isn't the first time someone wanted to sell a laptop, right?
