If you can, get a copy of KNOPPIX (Linux), and burn it to a CD.
Now boot that CD (it will be "live") and now you can use it to
format the hard drives, over write them, etc. It is a good tool
to have for diagnosing a machine or find out what all it actually
has.
Or, you could tell it to install Knoppix on that machine and use
it to play with.

Good Day To All,
Can anybody suggest how I can delete all the files, software etc. from an
old laptop before I scrap it? The laptop in question is a DELL VISTA. I asked
the experts at DELL but they couldn't tell me because of a lack of
documentation.
Thanks.
Willie
