| 616576 | 2007-11-29 19:15:00 | Hi Folks. An elderly machine running XP Pro at present. Primary disk is three parts, C - programmes, D - Swap and E - Data. I am giving the machine to an old friend who has (he says) a legit copy of XP Home and, anyway, I do not wish to part with the XP Pro system. What is the sequence of cleaning the drive completely, including the operating system so that when I give it to him he can start afresh? Thoughts appreciated. ;) |
