Sold Laptop....now going to Wipe HD...help?(lion)

[yanksrock100]

I sold my macbook pro. Now I need to wipe the HD before I send it out tomorrow.
Just to make sure, is this how I do it?

1. Restart computer
2. Hold down command+r until the Recover mode comes up
3. Open disk utility
4. Click erase Hard Drive....
5. Wait
6. Reinstall Lion, then it will be like a Brand New computer (no personal data)

Missing any steps?

Thanks!

Yes, you are missing the cold beer in the spring sunshine while the computer does its thing.

You might want to run a deep level format. Other than that you're good to go.
