Wipe Hard drive clean

[marty1]

HI i need to wipe my hard drive clean. I don't what anything left on it after the format. I want to sell it without operating system on it. I've tried to do this with the XP cd but it just installs a fresh copy of windows back on. Can anyone help Please...

Here's another option for wiping your drive.

Try DBAN (http://www.dban.org/download). It provides several levels of security. Download the disk image, burn to a CD, and boot from the CD. And it is free software.
