Ok, I want to wipe all my PC Hard Drives. Yes, I have backed everything up and whatnot, and now I am ready. What is a great program for formatting, managing, and partitioning PC Hard Drives? (I used Max Blast 4 before, but it's REALLY old)

why not just reinstall windows, it wipes the drives
people that want to "really clean it" is pointless, unless you have sensitive data

windows has a built in formater, it will wipe your drives completely trust me, its teh easiest thing to use otherwise you have to get a program that doesnt require windows, learn how to use it.... its a big mess unless you can use linux, then its simple, use linux lol |

So, how would i use this formatter? Insert it on startup (the XP disk) and tell it to format my HD? Will that wipe all 3 HD's?

Well if you have a virus then use Spyware Doctor to clean it out Or Norton |

insert XP disc, boot to disc when you come to the format window, look at the options, delete all the partitions, then xp will format it before it installs XP, easiest way |

You have backed up everything eh...
I can't wait till you mysteriously get the same virus. Ive seen so many people complain about that sort of thing.

Yachi, I scanned everything, its all good. I think it was because of me uninstalling Boot Camp... And Gamez, I tryed the XP disk, I think I may use it in the first place...
