[QUOTE="Lapsang Leaf, post: 1530663, member: 303388"] I want to double check something. I have been using this guide to perform the wipe: [url=http://www.mactip.net/how-to-securely-wipe-your-mac-hard-drive-before-selling-it/]How to securely erase your mac hard drive before selling it. | MacTip.net[/url] Here it seems to suggest that, rather than erase the main partition, we are actually seeking to erase the WHOLE drive (top left in grey). This is what I have been trying to do. Is this correct? [url]http://www.mactip.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/disk_utility_erase.jpg[/url] [/QUOTE]
