Erase HD data/reformat
Hi all,
I have replaced the 40GB HD on my system with a new 120GB drive. I would like to completely erase the data on the 40GB drive and give it to a friend. The drive contains Windows XP and personal data, etc. The drive is out of the machine. I have two working computers. One is a P4 @ 3.06GHz w/WinXP, the other is an older AMD [email protected] w/ Win 98. How would you suggest I connect this 40GB drive to reformat to FAT32? Reformatting will pretty much erase all data, correct? Again, thanks for the help and input.
