I did a search of topics before creating and only confirmed the way to completely format a HDD but still a little unsure. But first, my actual question:
Is there a way to erase everything (format) in a Laptop HDD with our erasing the OS (almost like a factory reset) with out the installation CD's?
And question on how to format properly:
Going to MyComputer, then right clicking on your C drive and hitting Format will erase everything, but is this a safe way considering the OS is on the same drive?
If not, then what would be the best way to use that option. Plug in another HDD the computer/laptop will be using (complete with OS) and then format the one you don't want?
