How do I erase safely an SSD so as I give it.

Hi people

I was wondering if someone can tell me how to clear my ssd drive so that I can give to my companion? I want to get rid of all the stuff on it and preferably back to factory settings.

When I first formatted, I haven't used pad or anything, I just format in os extended log and put my os on it, and then used Carbon copy clone to slap all my equipment out there.

It is grayed out in disk utility, to clear, so I should do through the closure to bottom/option key and choose the drive in this way and clear? Oh it was an external ssd used, and I've always kept my original disc mac, wanted just a copy to take paths and come to plug any other MacBook with my own stuff on him. Worked great, but I'm the upgrade and give it to my friend,.

any help would be appreciated.

Kind regards

  • 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).

  • 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

    To disable the address bar to not display search history results. You can do this by going to Firefox-> Options-> privacy and select the option that says: "when you use the location bar suggest" and set it to "nothing". I have attached a screenshot that might make it easy for you to locate.

    I hope this helps.

    Do not remove the navigation, search and download history on Firefox to clear the "Site preferences".

    When I opened the window "save the Page under", the drop-down box file name indicates the files that have been saved a long time ago. It is not cleared by a function 'clear history' that I can find. How can I erase this?

    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.
