I wonder if anyone on this list has had the experience of 'scrubbing' a disk on a discarded computer and if they can offer me any hints on doing this. (Please send to me personally to not clog up the list.) I would be interested in scrubbing everything but leave the Windows OS intact. I had read that there is a Windows Utility called 'Active Release' that does this but have been unable to find it on the web. I would prefer to not scrub the entire disk on this particular computer, but I also have an even older computer that would be acceptable to clean entirely to just dispose of. Is there a free-be one someone knows of that will do this? Thanks so much, hope this topic is allowed here. Carol
