Hi there! I am about to sell my whole configuration. I am getting on to something much better and newer. I have already cleared and erased all the programs that where in my computer. Now, I wanted to know how can I erase the whole hard disk and everything thats left on it.. Is there some technique for that? If you could help me that would be nice!

Hello! One way for erasing a disk drive is by formatting it. That way al the data will be gone and you will be able to sell it to his new owner. Also there are some applications which can do that and you can find them on internet. One of that software is Partition Magic. You can also do that in Windowss default partition maker-eraser. You can type the following in Run command compmgmt.msc that will take you in a section of computer management. There you shall click on disk management, and you will see on youre a box on your right side. Choose your drive and click on format. That is one of the ways to erase a disk.
