So I have a few Qs about selling my 12" Powerbook on Ebay.
A) What should I use to completely wipe the drive clean so nobody can recover information?
B) After I wipe it clean, do I just stick in the Leopard DVD and reinstall from there? It will run from the disc, right?
C) I have a 320 GB MyBook external hard drive which acts as my current iTunes library location and time machine location....my question is, how will I pick and choose things on my new imac when I get it? For example, I want to start clean on a new iMac, but wish to copy over some documents, photos, etc from my hard disk. Will I have to go all the way through time machine for everything I want (on the iMac), and then erase the external and start over? I know, kind of confusing....
Thanks for any help...
