I recently purchased a Compaq Presario a few days ago and after much deliberation have decided to return it and try another brand of laptop. My question is how do I make sure the hd is free of any personal information? Thanks Mike

recovery disk(or whatever they calls) usually contain option of reformat your hard drive and bring everything to factory settings.
