If I sell my computer, is ther a program that will erase or write over the information on my hard drive? I heard that by simply formating it will not delete the info. on it. The info on my drive would be pretty boring however I don't want to share it with someone who buys my computer. What is the best thing to do in this case?

If you use the recovery cd it came with, you can just re-partition and format, and reload the operating system. This should delete all your files.
