How Do I Wipe My Pc Clean?

[Hunted]

I am using the Windows Setup Disk, but I don't think it is working..
What program can I use to delete EVERYTHING?

[clocker]

Why don't you think that the Windows disk is working?

Edit: You can always use KillDisk (http://www.killdisk.com/)

Important drive information (servo, sector layout, and defect management, etc.) is stored in the low-level format at the factory. This information is designed to last the life of the drive and therefore it is not possible to low level the drive outside the factory. Although some drive manufactures and BIOS provided so-called "low level format utilities", they actually perform a write-read verify of the drive’s user data sectors, and do not actually perform a low-level format. In the event of a corrupted master boot record or boot block virus, use FDISK /MBR command to restore the master boot record.

If you need to low level format your hard drive then check the drive manufacturer and download such an utility from its website. Every drive manufacturer provides just such a utility. Here is a list of hard drive manufacturers with a links to low level format utilities:

Note:
If normal (high level) hard disk formatting is required, you can use DOS FDISK command to first erase and create partitions and then use FORMAT. It is also a good idea when you hard disk becomes inaccessible to see if it is just the system files that are corrupted. Most of the time, it is the case. SYS will do the job of replacing system files. Therefore, low level format is always of LAST RESORT when you encounter HDD problems.

u need to make a ms-dos disk first. insert a clean floppy and then rite click floppy and selet format and then choose "create a ms-dos disk". after this just start your computer without removing the floppy and type format.

I use a damp cloth myself. :lol: :lol:

The only reason I am going to delete everything is because I am almost out of HD space.

And most of it is not in my Add/Remove programs list

Well, the max of my HD is a HUGE (not really) 18.6GB. And, I have mainly no money at all. I might have to get a HD for christmas.. and I may have to blow my birthday &#036; on ram.. (only 128mb)

[MUSLEMAN]

hmm sounds like a plan for now just clean up your windows temp folder and internedt temp folder, cookies and your documents

[Hunted]

I don&#39;t have many docs. I just cleaned my temp folder etc allthough.

[ultimatejester]

Does that come standard on computers, or do I have to download it from the net?
If I have to downlaod it, where do I get it?

[ultimatejester]

u can get it from iolo.com and just download the pro version and in the mean time i will pm u the serial

edit: get a gud defragmenting program 2 like Musleman sed (diskeeper is my opinion)

[MUSLEMAN]

read about it here then look at our verified or request section for a hash for a full version or search klite (http://www.iolo.com/partners/adnetwork/sm2.cfm?source=plattform2)

[Hunted]

Kazaa lite is slow, would it be there on IRC or SuprNova?

By the way, what other Bittorrent sites are there?

[MUSLEMAN]

um just go to the link i gave you and look for the pro download

Maybe you can zip some of your programs you dont use and save some room till you get a bigger hard drive

This is only possible IF
1. The program does not require installtion and will run once moved. Normally such program are rare and they don&#39;t require registry entries and/or system32 dll. All neccessary files are bundled in one directory.
2. You have Norton Uninstall, which I can&#39;t find anywhere. Other new programs require a module (hardware), yet not as accurate as Norton&#39;s.
3. You make an IMAGE of your drive to backup on CDs or DVDs.
