How to format internal hard drive?

[nickazzo123]

Hello,

I just sold my western digital caviar blue 500gb and I want to know how to clear everything off of it using the same computer its in now? Any recommended programs?

Thanks!

Just install it in your computer as a secondary drive and use disk management to format it. If you are paranoid about your data, try darik's boot & nuke.

Tried that and it said it couldn't find the hard drive.

You could always boot your Windows disc and delete the partition you want that way.
