Johnny, One sure way is to F- Disk...translation is you delete your partitions and this shatters all files. It's the only truely clean sweep. When doing this it cleans the drive so well files such as Norton etc that have regular updates will run again even if it had expired. There is no traces of anything left. I would recommend dividing the hard drive so you allow plenty for C:\ to operate but no more then it needs. This way of doing it has a great advantage... if you have problems in the future you only lose the operating system and all other files will be safely waiting on other divisions when you get it fixed again. I use only 50 gigs out of 340 for C:\ the rest I use for my file storage. Good luck and nice to see you again. Ram

Hey Johnny,
Good to see you're still around. I don't know if this link will help or not but it's all I could find.
