Eraser Forum
So I'm in the process of getting rid of my old computer and would like to donate it to my friends, family or maybe even charity.
I have backed up all my files so far but have not erased everything.
I have Windows XP Professional and have 2 hard drives.
I have a few questions regarding Eraser...
1.) Do I just run Eraser as is, without erasing all my files?
2.) Will my hard drives still be usable after I over write? I want to donate my computer so they need to be intact.
3.) Do I do the Windows re-install after I run Eraser?
4.) Do I need to uninstall or shut down my anti virus or anti spyware programs prior to running Eraser?
Sorry about the questions. I'm a little nervous about using Eraser. Just wanna make sure my passwords, banking info, etc are gone before I donate my old computer..
thank you!
