Erase Hard Drive?
I have to return my a6667 pavilion because of a faulty pci express. I could have it repaired but I paid a lot of money 3 weeks ago for this pc and I am not getting it repaired. Costco offers 90 day return so I am returning. I have 64 bit Vista home premium. My question is.....how would you suggest erasing my hard drive of personal data?

Re: Erase Hard Drive?
If it has the option you can simple just system recover the factory settings and then not do anything with it. Basically reformatting it back to the original factory settings and such since Vista will not really allow you to format your main drive while using the OS.
