I have a MacbookPro A1150 from 2006 that has a faulty GPU and can't boot. I want to sell this on ebay for parts, but would like to include the HDD. However, without all my information on it. Is there a way to completely erase all data on the HDD? I don't have the means to firewire into it or to put it in another machine. Perhaps a way through a bootable dvd or thumb drive? thanks! |

NVidia delivered a substantial number of defective units to Apple (and others) and a subsequent settlement on the issue could mean potential no-cost repair, so it may be worth checking first. Of course, I know everything . . . I just can't remember it all at once.

| If HDD crashes, is data on ALL partitions corrupted, or just inaccessible? | jman995x | Other Hardware and Peripherals | 5 | 07-13-2009 05:32 PM |
