Selling a laptop on eBay

[Karl Kennedy]

Folks, going to sell my laptop on eBay. Just wondering would it be possible for the buyer to be able to get any details from my laptop such as credit card details, bank accounts etc that I have looked at on the net?

I have deleted all my documents and programs that I installed but think I should clear the hard drive. Are there any good free programs out there that you recommend?

Thanks

Format the thing by reinstalling Windows

Problem solved

I thought I read somewhere that formatting doesn't clear the hard drive completely?
