any ideas of how I can wipe this version of windows off my drive using the HI KEY command and making the drive a bare drive:emotion-10: since tech support has no clue what i'm talking about. I swear dell's support is sooo useless:emotion-12:

Why not use DBAN to securely wipe your drive?

DBAN will likely work better, giving it a secure wipe. I updated the guide a couple of nights ago.
