Please help me with somethign else

A friend of mine want me to wipe his hard drive completely and he is willing to pay me so i would like to know what i need to do it and how much should i charge him

 

Is this an internal or external hard drive?

 

internal i believe and would it be possible to clear it all by formatting it and if so what should i format it in

 

You can format it.

Just hook it up to your computer and ensure that your computer boots up onto your own harddrive.
If it boots into the other one, just change the boot order.

You should format it to NTFS for maximum transfer speed and reliability.

 

ok got it thank you now how much should i take him for lol as he isn't really that good of a friend

 

euros ,dollars or pounds

 

Dollars

 

DBAN it.

 

huh

 

You should charge him $10 or so.

 

A reformat doesn't 'Wipe'. A DBAN re-writes over all files with random numbers. Basically, making anything unrecoverable.

 

ah ok well what do you run it from and still how much money should i get from him for in American

 

10-20 dollars should suffice.

He doesn't want a reformat, and only a wiped drive.

So go to: http://www.dban.org/

Here you'll be told exactly what to do, but it's as simple and burning to a disc, booting up the PC and removing everything. Read up on the site, though, if you're really unsure.

 

OK thank you
