hard drive recovery
asked:


I am donating my old computers, and I want to erase EVERY TRACE of personal information, and all data, from my computers, with no possibility of recovery by those data recovery programs. I have been trying to find a good program to do this, but it seems like they all cost lots of money or aren’t good enough.

    Try cnet.com. This question comes up a lot. Also, check out free programs available at softpedia.com.
    Check with a local computer repair shop and see what they suggest. They’re experts on this and should know if it is even possible.
