Hi. I have two related questions. First, I recently added a 2nd hard =
drive to my machine, which is running W2000. The 2nd hard drive is from =
an older machine of mine, which is no longer among us, and that drive =
has W98 installed on it. What's the best way to remove W98 from the old =
drive? I could reformat but it seems to me I should be able to remove =
W98 without going that far, but surely just deleting the Windows folder =
doesn't completely wipe the disk of W98, does it? I am not doing a =
double-boot so my current machine knows nothing of the W98 install.
2nd question: My wife's computer recently died (short in the MB). We =
had a backup (whew!) and restored her data to her new machine. Neither =
of us wants the old drive and I'd like to give it to the local computer =
recycle folks, but it's still got the data on it. Is there some way to =
wipe the drive without installing it in a machine first (short of taking =
a hammer to it?). I appreciate any help on either of these problems.
