Return to article: How to Sell or Donate a Computer
on 1/29/2007 Thanks! I would not have thought to donate my old computer to a school; my daughter goes to Pre-School. I'm going to ask them if they have room for it; they don't have any computers there now. I'm sure that they will probably find a way to make the room... as these 4 year olds are better on the computer than I am! Thanks again!
on 2/10/2006 Deleting only tells Windows to pretend it isn't there. Formatting is a little different, but it doesn't actually remove the data, either. Use Darik's Boot and Nuke to actually destroy the data on any internal drive. I don't have the address handy, but I am certain that Google does. DBAN is 100% free. But please send him a donation as an encouragement to develop the program to include USB and other networked drives before I need to wipe one.
