Colleen, you really don't need to replace the hard
drive -- unless you actively have a reason for keeping the old one.
There are tons of applications out there that will "scrub" the hard
drive, even to Department of Defense standards, if you like. What I've used most often over the years is a IBM utility named scrub.

You never know where a donated PC may land, and I do know that identity thieves prowl yard sales, classified ads, and places like Goodwill looking PCs that still have "useful" information on them... Thanks again! Colleen ---- "Scott G. Hall" <ScottGHall AT BellSouth.Net> wrote: |
