All the data on the old is now on my new one......How can i format the old an
bring it back to it's out of box state? I may wish to sale the old
one.......It is full of data i wish no one to possess.....Is there one among
you who knows what i mean?

Use the recovery disk that came with the old PC, or use the win cd that came
with it

After you run Darik's Boot and Nuke utility use the installation cd thet
came with the pc to reinstall the operating system.

If you want to make certain (or a certain as reasonably possible) that the
data is not recoverable, then you want to get a utility that wipes the disk
over and over with 0's an 1's. Then use the Restore disk or XP installation
disk to reformat and install.

Is it of no use in your new machine as a second hard drive?
