How to remove all information from the computer so I can sell it?

Hello

You will want to format the hard disk:

1. you can use DBAN - http://www.dban.org/

or

2. you can follow this tutorial to clean install up to the step where you format the disk, in which you would then STOP (because you just want to get rid of the files on the hard drive, do not install Windows) - http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/1649-clean-install-windows-7-a.html

Kind regards

  • How to remove a Word from the default dictionary of firefox?

    How to remove a Word from the default dictionary of firefox?
    If I wanted to remove the word 'dog' or 'and' for example

    There may be a range of reasons for wanting to do this, including the deletion of the words you use rarely as similar to other common spellings used words for example. "minute" and "Minuet", delete the words that you find personally offensive, or removing words that, because of linguistic or cultural background, you would not consider words at all.

    Note that I'm not asking how to remove my 'dictionary' words, words that I added myself.

    Hello

    I talked to a few people and I think I'm able to help you with this.

    There are two dictionary files, the default that comes with your version of Firefox and personal 'custom' that you create yourself with phrases and words.

    If you want to change the personal;

    1. Copy Subject: support and paste into the address bar.
    2. Next to the profile folder, click the marked File Show
    3. Find the file persdict.dat. Rename a text file, open, modify, re save it as persdict.dat and replace.

    If you want to change the default dictionary, it could be more of a problem and a lot more technique to do. I would recommend that you look at the problem differently and consider filtering of pages based on inappropriate content using Add-ons such as ProCon Latte Content Filter.

    I hope this helps, but if not, please come back here and we can look at another solution for you.

    2 How to remove an element from the tree and the database block tree?

    Kind regards

    Abdetu...

    The problem is caused by not sending forms is not a VALIDATION of the database because he thinks that there is no changes to save.

    Forms does know that changes to the data block, he does not know the changes made by the PLSQL INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE calls and procedure.

    Try to remove the line to block, rather than using a DELETION like that...

    go_block ('INSP_EQUIPMENT_TYPE');if form_success then   do_key ('DELETE_RECORD');end if;
    
    
    

    If you wish to continue using your original DELETE instead of my change above code, you can use different techniques to force forms to issue the COMMIT to the database, including this one...

            DELETE ...        FORMS_DDL ('COMMIT');
    

    Be careful... This will be the VALIDATION of the database, but the changes to the data block will not be sent to the database!

    I posted a few other ways to issue a VALIDATION of forms here

  • How to remove unused readers from the Explorer

    Under 'Computer' in the Solution Explorer, I have the following discs I want to remove and have no idea how to go to delete them because I don't know what some of them are: removable F: Drive; Compact Flash H:; SmartMedia I:' MS/MS Pro J:; Removable drive K:. CD player (l) Smartdrive WD and my book of K.  The only drive I want to keep is the My Book, and I would like to be known as F: drive.  Can someone provide advice?  Thank you, Terri

    Hi TerriDelaware,

    1. What are the external devices connected to the computer?

    2. on what drive you have Windows installed?

    3 is the drive for CD (L) a drive internal or external?

    Removable disks sometimes appear in computer even if they are disconnected. I suggest that you restart the computer and check if it works.

    You will first need to know what contain all readers and what they are.

    Unless you delete or change the F drive on the computer, you cannot apply the letter F for the my book drive.

    You may need to take the local computer tech shop to find out what are all the readers and to remove them from the computer.

    For more information on changing drive letters refer to the link below.

    Change, add, or remove a drive letter
