    Hello,

    I need to take my computer to a computer repair shop for an upgrade, and I want to erase all sensitive information on it, such as cookies, internet history, some office documents, and other things. I created a few CDs with the documents that I need ( inluding my personal photos and emails ) and now I want to erase the other files without formating the drive.

    Well, first think if you need to have your HDD in the PC when you bring it in. If not needed, don't bring it. NO MATTER WHAT (unless you "shred" the files), they will ALWAYS be recoverable after they are deleted (except when physically damaged).

    if you've taken everything off from your computer that you need, you could do a low level format and r-install everything. That would wipe everything off the computer.

    If your system isn't that old, it may have come with a system recovery disk. If it did, you can use that also. It will wipe everything off the HDD and restore the computer back to the way it was when you first got it.
    You are CRUNCHY, and taste good with Ketchup!!

    Ouch, if you know anything about computers don't go near a comp shop to get it fixed, you'll feel it seriously on your wallet, they way overcharge for the work they do. Whats update are you lookin for exactly, Just an Windows update?

    I totally agree, all the local computer shops near me are total scams. Robb4248 is right also. Someone with the proper knowledge can recover anything, but honestly I don't think these scam artists know **** about anything that doesn't give step by step instructions such as an installation.

    What exactly needs to be done with the PC man? We can probably walk you through it. And you will TOTALLY feel it on your wallet... before I new anything about PCs ( lol), I went to the local computer shop (Alliance Computers) and they charged me WELL over $100 for a 350Watt power supply and installation (I think labor was ~$85 [?]).

    And like I said... IF YOU DON'T NEED ANYTHING INSTALLED, DO NOT BRING IN YOUR HARD DRIVE

    Privacy Guardian will clean your hard drive and render unreadable any files you have deleted from your computer. It works well. I use it on my computer.
