I'm wondering if any of you very wonderful tech people can tell me - what a way to be sure that all data is erased from a computer hard drive?
We have this very old Toshiba laptop from the early 00's that I would like to donate to either a school or whoever can use it for the parts, but before I do so would like to ensure that all personal information is wiped out.
A magnet? Is that effective enough? Or will that kill the laptop for the people I'm donating it to? I'm looking for an organization online now that could use it.
