I think I'm going to bite the bullet and get a new computer. The computer I'm on now has seen better days. Here is what I'm wondering, what do I do with my old computer? I would like to donate it but I've heard of folks stealing personal information from old computers. Hell I can't afford the credit cards I have let alone if someone went on a shopping spree.

How do you get rid of a computer or delete a hard drive for good?

If your replacing your main Hard drive or you simply want to back the whole thing up you can and its pretty easy to do. So what is cloning a hard drive? That is simply making a total copy of it onto another hard drive (for a back up). So why can't you just simply cut and paste it into the new hard drive? Well its simply not that easy, you can do that for some folders but not for all of them.
