Re: Selling PC, want to wipe drive.

DBAN (Darik's Boot And Nuke) is one of the most commonly used hard drive wipers. You just burn the program to floppy, CD or USB stick then reboot to the device instead of Windows to run the program.

It will be up to the new owner to install Windows, so you don't need to worry about trying to get the factory restore CD to work.
