    I`m returning my hard drive to Dell after changing it out with a replacement. I`m concerned about sending back my hard drive with years of info on it. Can any one suggest the easiest way to erase the data on my drive before I send it back? I can`t seem to find a thread with the information
    Thanks for the help
