Is there a way to do a restore without backing up? I'm selling one of my Macs (Tiger) on eBay, and I want to make sure all my files and applications are erased, and that it will be back to square one when the next owner gets it. I've searched guides on restoring, but everything I've read has instructions on restoring AND backing up. I've already transferred everything using Migration Assistant to another Mac, so I really don't need to back up. Plus, it took about twelve hours to do and I don't have a Time Capsule or an external HD. I looked in Disk Utility and it looks like it won't let me restore without backing up first. And I'd rather not go through the extra steps of mounting disk images and so on. Is there a way around this?
It's currently finishing up a 7-Pass Erase, and I can't access anything else in Disk Utility.
