| I am going to sell my 4-year old computer system soon. I want to make
| sure that no trace of my clients past information (I'm and energy
| consultant) is left behind. I have the Eraser program that is good for
| eliminating "free space" (which includes old deleted files) and cluster
| tips, but what parts of the W2K system itself and related programs, like
| MS Office, files/folders do I have to pay attention to in order to
| make sure that other privileged information is not retained o the hard
| drive?

| Is there a guide out there on the internet that walks through this type
| of cleansing process?
Use a utility like Norton's GDisk.exe to "wipe" the hard disk of all data.

The utility is available in the Norton Utilities, the retail and enterprise versions of
Ghost and other Norton packages.
