I am selling an old computer and I do not want the purchaser to view any information I 've put into the computer. I don't want to keep any information for myself. I just don't want anybody to be able to see my information.

How do I go about erasing or removing information from my hard drive?

As the question above states, i have an ASUS G1 that i recently bought and i was wondering if i will be able to upgrade my CPU (the T7200) to a Centrino Pro. Or will it be too costly, void my warranty or be too much of a headache to perform then worth? (also possibly making my system unstable or increase heat)

Thanks

The idea is that I want to be able to wirelessly give print /scan/copy commands to my printer, from my laptop which has both Bluetooth and WiFi on it. That way I can locate my printer in a corner somwehere and not have to bother with wires and cables . I am guessing that may have to get a bluetooth adapter or something for it?

My mac keeps ejecting the Tiger installation disc. I checked apple.com troubleshooting and it says that I need a superdrive update. When I download that the update it tells me that it is only necessary for models equipped with a SuperDrive and won't allow me to go any farther. The disc drive was repaired once in the past. What can I do?

HP, Canon and others sell their printers without the essential USB cables, Why? Is it to save money? Won't most of us be happy to pay the additional cost instead of having to look for the USB cable separately.

I just purchased a new HP Pavillion m7658n. It came with a video card that allows me to watch TV. When I began using it, I had a 19" monitor and I was able to watch tv, via cable, and watch dvd's with no problems. I just upgraded to a 24" monitor and now the dvd is "jerking"- I have tried using different DVD's. I am thinking that the video card cannot support the larger screen but can't confirm this. I spent a bit of money on the computer and would rather not have to spend another 125+ dollars on a new card, so I was thinking of plugging in a dvd player. The only issue is, I can't locate a channel to watch the dvd from the player, such as on my regular tv there is an ACV channel like on VCR's that may use channel 3. Any help would be appreciatd.

v 270 came with a cd driver(setpoint2.44b). since this driver is old, I downloaded a latest driver from logitech homepage (setpoint 3.30165). this should be able to connect v270 and 9410. but this connection wizard(please wait....)keeps on blinking forever....never installing v270(bluetooth mouse). I just cannot figure out why. everything seems alright to me.
