I want to sell my mid 2007 Macbook. It has a 160 GB hard disk which has my personal files. Kindly mention to me a method by which I can permanently delele these files so that they would not be restored by using any utility by anybody.

Hi,
I was wondering, does the erase free space option in utility also overwrite stuff that isn't always removed from Trash, such as cookies and cache which doesn't go to Trash when you simply reset safari or clear them?
Thanks in advance.
It erases everything. Your documents, trash, the operating system, everything.
?????
the free space erase option doesn't erase the operating system, documents etc !!!!!
No it doesn't delete OS or existing documents. I am a bit confused about it. Does it only overwrite stuff deleted from Trash? Or does it also overwrite cleared Internet data?
You'll notice that says nothing about the trash, or items in the trash. It can't write over space for items that are not yet deleted (still in the trash)These options write over the unused space on the selected disk or volume to prevent disk recovery applications from recovering deleted files.
