Hi Clint.. Thanks so much. Yes, as I said, I want to wipe data from the computer. so Ill go to BC wipe and do that.

Also,,Robert - you said, another program.. What is that.? Kill disk..

On another note,, I just checked and my Dell has been shipped..(yesterday).. so it should be here, by the 17th. or 18th.. So, I'm getting excited about the new computer.. though, still a bit terrified of learning a new set-up. especially XP. since I'm so used to Windows 98.. Oh well, times, are changing, and I guess I'm going with the change.. :-)

Thanks for all your help/advice, and SUPPORT.. I've surely been asking ALOT of all of you. these last couple of days.. And I REALLY do Appreciate all the help you've given me..

Thanks..
Helene

Helene if what you're asking is how to wipe the old HD, before
you possible sell the old PC or give it to someone; a couple of
formats is usually ok.  However I would use that BCwipe program
to delete certain personal things on the PC, then format it.

The battery is just for the BIOS and removing it is the same as
the 'clear CMOS' jumper.  All that does it reset the BIOS back
to default.  You don't want to do that.
