I have a computer that I wish to retire for a newer model but even thought
i'd like to donate it to some worthy cause I fear doing so due to personal
information that fills it up, far maore thanI know how to delete nor have the time
nor knowledge to do such effectively.Is there a simple way or cheap
program to clean my stuff off the hard drive?
I guess the battery converter thing won't run my wheel in my powerless
studio adequately and I cannot get a kickwheel at this time so no use of studio
for awhile,sigh.All the helpful suggestions saved me buying the extra auto
battery to do the job,thanks.Now,I hope I can return the converter.i'm going
to have to sell some serious stuff to raise cash to get the studio back on
its feet.I tried to subscribe again to the barter potter but don't seem to be
getting and posts??

Margaret:
Reformat the hard drive. It will wipe it clean.
Or, replace the hard drive, and have the old one installed in your
new computer as a "slave" drive. That way, all your information
goes with you...and gives you added capacity for storage.

Best,
