My wife has a Macbook she has been using for work for about 2 years. It has
been running OSX & XP Pro via Bootcamp. She used both OS's for email,
Word,
Internet, etc. The hdd is allotted about half to XP & half to OSX. She has
been issued a new computer, & would like to return the old one with
nothing
more than a fresh OSX installation. In other words, no recoverable deleted
files, old emails, passwords, etc., etc. Her employer "disposes of" such
machines in an unspecified manner, so we want to be certain no trace of
her
remains. I have the Macbook OSX install disks 1& 2, ver. 10.4.6. I've
loaded/reloaded various windows version more times than I can count over
the
years, but my knowledge of Macs is limited. I'd basically like to format
the
entire hdd, ideally over write it with zeros or the like a few times to be
sure nothing remains which is recoverable, then load OSX & return the
machine. What would be the best way to do this?
THANKS!
Fred
