Hi Amber...put whichever operationg system disk in and restart holding C and then go to utilities, then to drive set up, choose initialization options, and choose "write zeros" This will take awhile, but it leaves the hard drive completely empty. You can do this twice if you wish, but I have found once to be sufficient. Then go ahead and do a clean install of the operating system,from that disk, plus whatever other software you wish to let the new owner have. Have fun.....cheers, Doug acoss Georgia Straight!
