windows - How can I be sure that no one will try to recover my files?




Possible Duplicates:
Best (preferably free) tool to wipe deleted files on an NTFS filesystem
Is there a program to truly delete all deleted files?
Erasing data before selling a computer



I'm selling my laptop, and I want to make sure no body tries to recover anything. Is re-installing Windows enough? or do I need to purge it? Please suggest me programs to use too, if needed.


Answer



The best solutions is called DBAN. If you want to be sure dban it is =) Then install windows again.



Darik's Boot and Nuke ("DBAN") is a self-contained boot disk that securely wipes the hard disks of most computers. DBAN will automatically and completely delete the contents of any hard disk that it can detect, which makes it an appropriate utility for bulk or emergency data destruction.
