Oh, darn. I have both a laptop and a desktop. I still want to keep the laptop but I want to get rid of the desktop. But I'm way in MN.

You know, I know a place that sells old ones real cheap. Like $50.00 a piece. Everything's wiped out. But I'm sure you can piece them together again. But all that's in MN, too...darn it. I could have made $5.00 each from you. lol

I got one that just stopped working, with a blank screen.  I still need to extract contents from the hard drive.  I wouldn't want to give it away with the classified materials intact.

if u give away the computer or sell it, take out the hard drive completely. data can still be recovered even if you have deleted them.

I can back-up your data into a cd and mail it to you or email to you or take the hard drive for you.  I'll pick it up at your place or meet me somewhere.

If you do have one or more, please let me know.

Ben

Rule of thumb.

Do not ever give out the hard drive.  I'm not a computer expert, but I know more about computers than most people.  Don't give it to people trying to get your cheap computer or laptop because they can extract the deleted files and use it to scam or make money by selling your information.  I have seen it on tv where people sell their computer for cheap only to find out they sold it to a computer genius and the scammer used their info to rip them off.  Always sell new or barely used computer only.  Don't ever sell a computer that you have used and put in alot of private information in there.  Also do not think that deleted files cannot be found.  Every thing you deleted or lost after you put in the recovery disk can still be found.  Do be dumb one. No offense to the author of this thread, but just reminding people.

well, at the cost of paying the electronic recycler to take my electronics... .I rather give it to someone who may turn it around and donate them to needy people. besides, landfill are piling up because the growing rate of technologies rising.  there are great computers, pda, cell phones, etc at the landfill.

To be honest with everyone.  Many of you are computer expert and many aren't.  When your pc is totally slow or malfunction, why keep it and wasted space. Get it alway or swap for a faster one, so you can use it for whatever your project needs. Sale it for few dollars to buy other things that you need.

I am welling to pay for you malfunction pc or slow pc/laptop.  I have disk clean-up to clean up your hard drive. Any of your personal infors are totally confidential and must distroy.

I have been working on the field over 30 miles surounding areas and many PCs contained personal informations and also porms. Its' not useful for me and i am not itnerest any. Wipeout the entire drive and reinstall fresh.

A malfunction pc or laptop can by use for parts and donate to the new people came from thailand or new students or beginning user. 

when you trash it, other might pick-it and might get your information.  You must concern identity theft.  Your name, social and dob is the most inportant for your life.

There are programs out there that will wipe clean the hdd and write 000's to all sectors.  There is always a .0001% chance your hdd may have some info after the clean.  But who really wants to spend thousands of dollars trying the extract the 1 mb file if even that.  Unless you are a child porn producer....yo u should'nt be too worried. :police:

my friend,
You don't understand the true nature of these so call computer people.  Many people don't know how it feels like to get their IDentity stolen until it is too late.  A friend of mine got their identity stolen when they got their card swiped at the mall and the casier wasn't honest about it.  Not only that.  I don't care what people say about hard drive and that there is a program for that.  Do you serious think people will not take a look at some of your shit.  I would be curious to see whats in the hard drive.  You heard stories about people stealing info on junk laptops and you say they don't have the technology to extract it.  There is no such thing as a clean hard drive even after you deleted it.  There is no program to deleted everything.  No matter what there will always be the info hidden in the HD.  Also, I am not worry giving my laptop away, but you never know where it could end up and trust me.  When your ID is stolen, it will be very hard to get it back.  Who said they don't have valuable info that were deleted in their comp or laptop.  Never give a laptop with a hard drive.  Trust me on this part.

Hard Drive Scrubber can wipe out everything from your hard drive..  Regular Formatting will not dellete everything.  Recovery program will bring everything out visible.

I want to know how much you asked for your broken laptop or dekstop.  Or You want me to make an offer?

For a totally malfunction pc, I'll not pay high price for it, cuz it's not worth to pay a lot and the machine not function.

Contact me your input to benscomputer08@yahoo.com

Ben
