How can I wipe my hard drive?
Asked by
Bill McLeod
I have a laptop which I wish to sell with just the bare-bones Linux OS. Following the directions from another user's question, I tried to wipe the hard drive by booting from a live cd, running Gparted, deleting partitions and then reformat. I am left with one empty partition and one with data. This one, and the swap file shows a closed lock, and I can't find reformat as an operation. What should I do?
