How can I erase my PC?

Really, I'm not really sure what section to ask this question, but "security" seemed more appropriate. I want to sell my computer so I want to delete all of its contents, leaving just the OS (Vista). How can I do this? Can anyone help?

Thank you

Now that you directed me to the manufacturer, I found this link very useful (the computer in question was a HP) http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c00809678&lc=en&dlc=en&cc=uk

This gives all the relevant details to the HP machines. So please send me there!

  • How can I erase the Awesome bar?

    I followed the instructions provided by Mozilla.
    IT DOES NOT WORK.
    No matter what I do, if I type in the bar location... also called the address bar... also called the Awesome bar... should have been called the useless bar... old sites Web will show that I have not visited in more than a year.
    Even if I clear my history every day.
    Yes, I select AS my calendar.
    Yes, I click AND DOWNLOAD the HISTORY of NAVIGATION.
    Still, whenever I type anything in the bar of Useless, old sites Web is suggested.
    How can I erase this and never make it do this again?
    How can I get the guy who designed the bar pulled Useless?

    (On another note... why I have to provide a password of eight letters at least 1 number? If I want a weak password, MY risk. What do you care? Also, if every Web site requests a password of eight letters at least 1 number you are actually makes it easier to hack because I am limited on coming up with new personal passwords for me since I have to remember and you make it so complicated.)

    Hello.

    I think this is a related issue of Windows, because it is the Manager to save the windows file that we are talking about here (right?). You should contact Microsoft for help with this one, I think. You expect to be able to delete entries simply by touching delete on your keyboard when they are concentrated (that is how it goes for the removal of the form entries specific autocomplete in Firefox), but I have not tried.

    I'm sorry I can't be more helpful.

  • How can I erase hard disk dive

    How can I erase diving hard drive that windows will not open on

    "Wiping" a hard drive can not be done from Windows, if you are referring to the drive on which Windows is installed, so that Windows will not open is not a problem.

    You must use a utility that sits on its own bootable media.  Two of the most popular free tools are

    DBAN--> http://dban.org/download

    Active KillDisk--> http://www.killdisk.com/features.htm

    Although the two products have free or commercial versions, the free version of KillDisk has a few more features (for example, works on the SSD, it's not the DBAN).
