Charlie,
I'd hate to think my PC landed on your doorstep (LOL)
Do you know if that is what this 'eraser' system does?
As my earlier question can one of these 'security delection programs' be used whilst
still keeping the programs and your undeleted data (I.e not the stuff sent to the
recycle bin) and XP etc etc or do you run it through XP and it wipes everything out
other then your OP?
I know my pal wont know how to recover my personnel info but I would probably feel
better knowing everything had gone in case he later disposes of the PC and it lands
in your hands - joking.
