Google for a prgram called autoclave. It is a linux based utility that will clean
everything off. Or, if you know what make your hard drive is, the manufacturer usually
has a diagnostic disk that also has disk wiping capability.
Clean Install XP

However, with the right software, the information can be retrieved. I know, I know
it is a long shot, but better safe than sorry. The tool I mentioned overwrites the
entire disk including the bootsector up to 10 times. Formatting the drive simply
erases the pointers to the files.
Clean Install XP

My computer is full of spyware...so if I clean everything off, would it be possible
to just reinstall my windows xp and other programe from my CD.
