    Im planning to sell my ZG8, I barely used it but it does contain a small bit of info - whats the best way to clean that off without altering the OS (xp home) or going to drastic measures... Thanks :)

    yeah, it has no cd rom - thats what has me stumped. ETA- looks like I hit Alt + F10 at boot, & that should get me to the hidden recovery partition...
