Bad324 Posted July 2, 2012 Report Share Posted July 2, 2012 I have 2 old laptops im selling and just want to make sure there is no info or documents left on it. I don't have a reboot disk for either so what's the quickest and thorough way to get it free of any data Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flounder Posted July 2, 2012 Report Share Posted July 2, 2012 Download the DBAN ISO and let it run.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imprez55 Posted July 2, 2012 Report Share Posted July 2, 2012 I usually have a copy of DBAN on hand for things like that. Just pop it in, boot up, and select how many overwrites you want and leave it till its done.-edit- Looks like Flounder beat me to it 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ScubaCinci Posted July 2, 2012 Report Share Posted July 2, 2012 There are a lot of utilities that will do it (try Google)...be prepared to let it them for up to a few days depending on the size/speed of the drive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
