Reformatting a Harddrive

Hi - Happy Labor Day!

I have an old computer that I want to reformat before I give it to someone else. Can anybody tell me how to do this? Do I just put the install CD's in and let it do it's thing, or do I need to do something first?

Thanks for your help!

I like certain aspects of HR. There are certain aspects that are not appealing to me, but in any case, I'm finishing up my master's degree next year and I'm planning on switching from HR to Consulting. :)

Camera Memory Cards

Anybody know the difference between an SanDisk HC Memory card and just a regular SanDisk Memory card?

I ordered a 4.0GB SanDisk HC card and my Canon SD600 won't read it. It says "Memory Card Error".

Thanks. Turns out I don't have the CD! It never came with the computer. (I didn't know this, I didn't buy the computer). So, I had to ask Dell to send me the appropriate CDs.

Annoyingggggggggg.
