my buddy used to maintain my system for me but ive lost touch with him as hes working in a different location (traveling work) and hes often gone for some time...
he would load some program that overwrites the hard drive with "0"s and "1"s a couple of times. it is a more thorough cleaning than just deleting programs and files before reloading the OS. does anyone know of which program he would use? i want to give my daughter my desktop since she is getting older and in need of a computer for school work. ill just use my laptop. id like to get all of my documents off, clean it really good and give her a fresh uncluttered install of XPpro so i dont have to try and correct issues caused by my old possibly corrupted files... also, where might i find a full copy of XPpro and Office (NOT windows office 2007 or later but the 2003 edition)? thanks. you guys and gals always have the answers... |
