hey everyone,
i am selling my less than 3-month old lenovo laptop computer on e-bay and i was wondering if there was a way to clear the hard drive without deleting the windows 7 operating system? since it's not a very old machine, i don't have much data acquired on it but i'd like to at least wipe it before i sell it and send it off.
what can i do to ensure that everything on the computer is permanently deleted without having to completely wipe the drive of the operating sysem? windows 7 was pre-installed so i don't have the registration key to reactivate my license.
any suggestions would be GREATLY appreciated!
