    What happens after a hard disk is erased and restarted?


    If the disk is a useful size, then remove it and put it in a USB disk caddy having a USB/SATA interface (cost about £5-£10). I did this when I replaced the 1T hard drive in my laptop with a SSD. I now use that drive as an external drive for backups.

    Correct. Not only do you need the skill, but also a significant amount of time too.

    Use usb recovery media, boot from it, open advanced trouble shooting, open command prompt. Type disk part. Type list disk. Determine which disk is your personal disk. Type select disk 0 or 1, which ever is your disk. Type clean all

    This will reset all data on the disk to 0s.
