I have a Lenovo laptop with win 7. I want to sell on E Bay. I have restored it to factory settings but fear the information on hard drive is recoverable to a knowledgeable buyer. I have Nuke software but can't find my recovery disks that the computer say's I made. Any ideas????

Fill the HDD with garbage to overwrite all the free space. That will make 99.999% of the stuff unrecoverable by anything available to common people.
Except for stray registry entries and possibly leftover files scattered across the system.
If your Lenovo has not been wiped before, the recovery stuff should still be either on a hidden partition or somewhere else on the HDD itself.
