Me too, but it depends on several factors. What data might be on the computer that the original user might be concerned about? I never put my credit card numbers or personal information on my computer. Then what are chances of anyone who might want to use such data of getting hold of the hard drive? If you really believe there is a chance, however slight, of your data being mined, you can download the wipe.exe program that is in this groups files section: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/A-1-Computer_Tech/files/ It does some version of writing ones and zeros to the hard drive. This is more secure than simply reformatting the drive. Jim ------------------------ Yahoo! Groups Sponsor --------------------~--> Get Bzzzy! (real tools to help you find a job).
