Hi....newbie here !
I have a Fujitsu Amilo Pi 3410 PC (320GB SATA II / 7200rpm) that was bought new 2 years ago. I have all my personal info on it (business,banking,photos,videos etc etc) and as it is in good condition I am going to fit a new HD and give it to a family member who is very hard up. But I don't want to give it away with my data on it and have decided to buy a new HD for it first.My girlfriend is moving in and she has a new pc that we will use.
I have read that the only way to be 100% sure that no data is recovered is to destroy the HD.So my questions are these...
1.Do I need to buy a new OS and install it on a new HD myself,or can I use the 'boot' discs that I have already?
2.Where is the best place to buy these products from?
3.Can a beginner install the new OS ?
4.I am told that Belarc Adviser will tell me exactly what my HD is so that I may buy the same. Is this correct?
Thank you very much :)
