I'm hoping for a easy answer to this one - can anyone tell me how to COMPLETELY erase my hard disk drive? (its a maxtor maxline plus, 250gb, OS Windows Vista) as i plan to sell it on and use the cash buy a new HDD.

Thanks in advance.

second that. Dban is DoD m-certified, which means the next step is physically shredding the drive. We use dban exclusively at work for all the machines we donate yearly.
