You can format all the drives. I believe the buyer will not be so much interested in recovering your deleted data.

First, Copy all of the files onto an external hard drive, or back them up externally somehow. Next, download a file shredder(Google it) and "shred" all of the sensitive files.

Try out one of these three. they are free. Shred your most sensitive files at the highest Pass-rate possible. then with your other docs, keep it a little bit lower so that it doesn't take as long.
