    Your hard drive has all sorts of information on. You are nuts if you sell or give it to anyone.

    Suit yourself. Put it in a static bag.

    You are welcome, but I would still pay heed to my first post in this thread.

    Even if it is formatted, the info can still be retreived. I would just as soon use it as a paper weight. I would never sell an old drive with the amount of ID theft going on these days.

    Heed Grandpa's warning......dont sell it.
