will windows reinstall from HD part. remove private data?

#1 Post by rhz » Mon Feb 16, 2009 1:02 am

Hi,

I have an R32 that I want to sell. Beforehand, however, I would like to be absolutely sure that all personal information of mine has been totally removed from the computer. I have heard of all these disk cleaning programs, but wouldn't it be enough to simply reinstall windows from the hard drive partition? Is this sufficient to eliminate all private information on the computer?

Thanks.

If you are talking about restoring the factory image from the IBM Service partition, then yes that is adequate.
