Hi!
I have an issue that's just a little bit different from the responses here. I have a desktop PC that's currently running Windows 7. it has no other hard drive on it other than the main drive and partition. It was my late father's and I want to sell it or possibly just give it away.
All i want to do is completely wipe the hard drive of everything, including the OS, since I don't have a Windows 7 install disk. I plan on selling it without an OS, or if someone wants to pay me a little extra, I'll reinstall an OS after buying an ISO.
My question is how the heck do i wipe the drive clean and leave it at that? I know how to do it if I had a Windows 7 CD, but I don't. I've read several things online as to creating bootable USB, but I don't see how to do that on 7 and the CMD prompt directions I've found don't seem to yield what I want.
Am I making sense? Any suggestions would be appreciated!
