You did not say what operating system you were going to put on the hard drive. But if it is windows XP you just have to put the windows XP CD in the CD drive and restart the computer and it should ask you if you want to install...then it will ask if you want to "format" the drive first....say yes...and just let the installation take place....The "formatting" of the drive is what erases everything on the drive...Then after the installation process is finished you should have a "clean" install of windows.."Clean install" is the only way to go in my opinion....Please be aware though that formatting your hard drive erases all data from drive...so if there is anything you want to save you will have to save it to "floppy drive disks" or CD (if you have a CD burner on your system) or to some other removable media....hope this helps
To meet DOD standards and erase all data to thwart someone from reading it later on down the road you need to wipe the drive with DBAN or wipedrive.
