My parents are "cutting back" and shut their internet off, and now want to sell their computer. Does anyone know how to swipe the harddrive and get it back to how it was brand new? They want to sell it, and need everything off. I tried looking at it, but I'm not good at that stuff. If it helps, its an EMachine, ET1161-07, running windows Vista.

Transfer all the files you need (to something like an external hard drive), then format the old hard drive and reinstall whatever software, drivers, etc. the computer came with.

good luck. I cant imagine they will get that much from that pc used. having vista on it is also a drawback. you might as well just reformat it and see what you can get for it then.

the manufactures website whould have the drivers for the machine.
do you have the vista disc? if so go to (i guess emachine) website. look up the model number. copy all the drivers it comes with to a floppy. reinstall your vista and add the drivers. done deal ;)

poor water on it, and then recycle. If it has vista on it, it's probably pretty worthless....
