Personal Info !!

I would suggest doing a format. That is the best way to clear all your personal information. © ronaldinu 2008

Hi bunnybon7, I wouldn't where to start as I have never sold a desk top computer before, but be careful to wipe everything from your computer as the person who buys will have your information in it. Tamara

Hi there, I did the same with my old laptop and the best way I found to get rid of everything, and I mean everything, was to completely reboot the whole machine. As in, pop a windows cd in there and completely reinstall windows. Either that or try system restoring the pc to when you first got it, I'm not sure how far back you can go, but I think you can go a pretty long way back. The only other option is to speak to a person in the know, and probably pay for it as well! There are a couple of good computer sites that will be able to fill you in with more ddetail, have you tried googling the topic? Good luck and let us know if you manage it!

I would recommend having someone that knows what they are doing reformat your hard drive. This will take all the stuff out of the computer, including your personal info. The person doing the reformat will simply erase the hard drive and re-install Windows. Your computer will be just like it was the day it came from the store...

I just copied mine onto CDs, or a portable disk drive. Make sure that you have the CDs for the programs you want to reload AND all of the codes you need to register them on that computer. It is not hard if I can do it. Just copy files that YOU created. If you are selling it, restore it afterwards to its original condition.
