[QUOTE="EndlessMac, post: 994154, member: 140470"] You have the general idea. Boot off the Mac OS disc and the feature you are talking about should be in Disk Utility. A 35 times zeroing the hard drive is rather overkill and unless you have top secret government files and have a lot free time then a one pass should be good. I believe there is a 7 pass feature and it's up to you if you want to take the time to do so. Reinstall the OS once you are done and then it's good to sell. edited: pigoo3 beat me to it :) [/QUOTE]
