Linux or WindowZ you want to wipe the disk before you send the hardware back, IMO. Your address includes "MedAnalytics" which translates to me as a company with potential of having confidential content on the hard drive. Your company liability may be such that they cannot trust Dell to do the low level format that I suspect is needed. I would check but I doubt that you need or want a return process that does not clean the hardware. Thus you may be constraining yourself in ways that are unnecessary and have the potential of liability for you and the company. -- T o m M i t c h e l l /dev/null the ultimate in secure storage.
