    to completely erase the hard drive, you will need to format c:\ then run killdisk on it. Formatting just renames and changes locations of files so they are "unreadable". Killdisk will turn all the 1s to 0s and get you back to a clean slate.

    Make sure you use kill-disk or anyone can recover the old data.
