[> [> [> The easy answer is to delete your files, but an expert can still get stuff off it. If you really want to get rid of data, you would have to reformat the hard drive. The new user would then have to reinstall Windows and any other software they want, unless you want to do that for them. LOL -- JJ (Ronda), 18:34:00 02/17/07 Sat [1]
