[QUOTE="VaughnA, post: 953390, member: 10376"] I'm selling my old G5 iMac and need to wipe the drive. I'd like to avoid having to install everything again since I'll have to install the OS, then iWork, then iLife, then updates. I'm considering making a second admin account for the new user then deleting the current account and all of it's directories. Is there a way to securely wipe the disk of everything from the old account without having to start from scratch installing the OS? I'm not too worried about the old stuff since I'm sellling to a friend but I'd still be more comfortable if I could wipe out the stuff. THanks [/QUOTE]
