Hi,
A few years ago I found some instructions about how to *completely* format a HD with WIn XP (leaving *nothing* on it) by using a program running from a USB stick. Unfortunately I cannot remember what the program is (or any of the instructions).
I have now bought a 2nd hand laptop which is riddled with viruses and want to clear the HD of absolutely everything, something that the XP installation disc does not do (i.e., you cannot use Windows to wholly delete Windows).
Can anyone tell me what the program is that will run from a USB stick and completely format a HD (with Win XP) please?
Thanks
