Hard Drive Help

gohstface · 07-30-2008, 04:46 PM

Hello And thank you for reading my thread.
I've just got a new computer and so I'm giving my old one away but there are a lot of old junk games and files on my old hard drive. Is there any way to delete all of these files at once, while leaving the hard drive intact (by intact I mean like it was when I first got it.)
Thanks again, and any help would be appreciated.

If you are not keeping the hard drive for yourself, you probably ought to securely wipe it to erase any sensitive data.

There are a few here: wipe hard drive software downloads and reviews at Download.com

More advanced ones exist elsewhere on the web.
