Hi NG,

I have a 2,5" GB HD from my laptop that I wish to sell by Ebay.
Question: 1) Did the information that I had on the HD go lost when I removed
it from the laptop because it no longer had a power source?
2) If not, how do I format the HD without having to build it back into the
laptop again?

I would appreciate any help I could get.

Thanks

Earl
 
Hi Earl,

1) No

2) Sledgehammer

The point is, you need to install the drive back into a system to format it
in preparation for sale. I would recommend a zero-write utility, as a format
does not actually remove data.
