Q: I have heard of people throwing out their hard drives because of virus infections. Why not use a electromagnetic bulk eraser and erase the hard drive?

A: You would never have to throw out a drive because of a virus infestation. But if you have tried everything that you know of, and nothing seems to work. You could wipe everything and start fresh, and you can do so without any special hardware. A product like the free DBAN (Darik’s Boot And Nuke) will overwrite the entire disk multiple times, wiping out all data to military standards. You create a floppy disk or CD of DBAN on a clean system and boot the to-be-wiped system from it. DBAN will then thoroughly wipes the drive’s data.
A different problem arises when the drive is actually nonfunctional. But if your data is still on it, conceivably a forensics expert could recover it. If you are worried about the data is sensitive enough. You can solve your problem the old-fashioned way: Take the drive out to the garage and hit it repeatedly with a 10-pound shop hammer, until your former hard drive makes a nice rattling sound.  This will ensure that no one will be able to retrieve any information from that drive.

CAUTION: Once you run DBAN all your data will be gone. So make sure that is exactly what you want.

When you buy a new computer, and setting it up for the first time.

First thing that should be done before you ever plug in a cable  or turn the power on is to read and understand the setup manual. Then  check the parts list against what is in the box. (If you don’t understand something in the manual, call the manufacture, the number is in the manual for technical help. These people are more than willing to help you.)

The manual will help you to set up the computer the correct way, so that there will be no missed steps. Because it can be very frustrating when you turn the power on the computer and find out that didn’t hook up the speakers, mouse, or keyboard.(NOTE: If the keyboard or mouse is not plugged in the computer will not boot up.)
