How to "wipe a computer clean" to sell??


Recommended Posts

alright, got back home and details are as follows it is a Dell Dimension 5100C with Windows XP......is it even worth scrubbing or just take the hammer to the whole damn thing? Or is it worth cleaning and donating? Not worth the hassle?

You can't rush quality, it doesn't happen overnight. Quality takes time and dedication, but the end results more than pay for it.

my samsung ssd came with samsungs "magician" ssd optimization/monitoring program. it has a tab that says "secure erase" on it. no idea what algorithms it uses. thought it was interesting though

which SSD do you have evo or pro?

i have the pro 500 gb and love it. so fast.

my laptop is fast as shit. 16 gb of ram samsung pro ssd, i7 processor. FSB running 1600 mhz. does the trick

OP from what i can find on your computer, it has a pentium 4, 80 gb hard drive and 500 mb of ram. id say donate or scrap it. no one would pay for that. well pay much.

if you want to donate it, id say format the drive and give disks to install OS and let it be someone elses problem if they want a Free or close to Free computer

I know, it's insane! I'm fairly confident the macbook pro I bought the wife 2 yrs ago will be worth it's weight in scrap in a year or two!!!
