    Is there anyway to wipe a PC's Hard Drive on a computer which will not turn on?


    Hi everyone, I have an old Lenovo C50 23 inch All-in-One PC White which no longer turns on. When you click on the start button the screen just stays black and what I would like to do is dispose of this PC but I would like to wipe the hard drive first and what I would like to know is there anyway of doing this? I have another Lenovo all in one PC which is working and I wondered if there was anyway I could connect the two PCs and then view the PC which isnt working on the PC which is and then somehow wipe the old PC? Is this even possible? Or do you have another suggestion of how I can wip

    :)

    Hard Drive wiping tool

    Hello,

    I will be selling my PC in a couple of days, is there a tool which will allow me to completely wipe the hard drive so no sensitive information can be recovered, but also leaving the hard drive in a usable condition because it will be formatted with a new Operating System ready for the next user.

    Thanks! *Toast :toast:
