When you find you want to get rid of a computer, you have to realize that it isn't as simple as sending it to the recycling plant. Especially today with risk of identity theft, it is important to take extra precautions. Sure, I could erase my disk and make it unrecoverable. But, I'd still worry. If you plan on selling or disposing of your computer follow these steps:
1. Open the side panel of the computer. This may or may not be difficult depending on your computer.
2. Locate your hard drive. This is not complicated. It may seem that way, but it isn't. View the picture above.
3. Basically, "bust up" your hard drive. Don't smash it into the dust, but enough so that it can't be used.
