Wipe my hard drive clean except for the OS whats the best way?

I need to wipe my hard drive clean except for the OS whats the best way?

From Kappy (note: with this method, you will need to update to the present OS version using the appropriate Combo Update from Apple Downloads.)
Boot from the OS X Installer Disc One that came with the computer. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities (Installer menu if using Panther or Jaguar) menu. After DU loads select the startup volume from the left side list then click on the Erase tab. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled) then click on the Options button. Select the one pass Zero Data option and click on the OK button. Then click on the Erase button.
Note: You can skip the Zero Data option if you are not concerned about removing sensitive personal data from the hard drive. If you choose to skip this part of the process then it is possible for others to recover data from the hard drive. The Zero Data procedure will prevent others from getting access to your personal information.
This process will take 30 minutes to several hours depending upon the size of the hard drive. After formatting has completed quit DU and return to the installer. Now complete the OS X installation. At the completion of the installation do not restart the computer. Instead just shut it off. The next user will be presented with the Setup Assistant when they turn on the computer just as it would if new out of the box.

  • Is there any way to completely wipe my hard drive clean without losing the basic operating system

    is there any way to completely wipe my hard drive clean without losing my operating system

    Stellar Wipe Mac is a wiping software that wiper a hard drive beyond the scope of recovery. You can select from the software which drive to wipe leaving the OS X intact. Else, if the drive is a single partition then no software will be able to wipe without wiping the OS X. So be careful.

  • How do I wipe my hard drive clean so I can sell my iMac G3?

    I have an iMac G3 (model #5521) with OS 9 and need to know how to wipe the hard drive clean so I can safely sell it. I tried following the advice someone gave to an earlier post, but was unable to find the security screen for the Zero All Data option or even Disk Utility on the Installer menu for that matter. I have these discs: Software Install, Software Restore and Apple Hardware Test. If someone would be so kind as to walk me through the process step by step, I would greatly appreciate it. I know very little about Apple computers.

    You need to boot to the Software Install CD-ROM that came with the iMac. To do so boot the computer off the CD-ROM by holding down the C key. Once it boots up open the Utilities folder displayed in the open CD-ROM window. Open Drive Setup. Open the Functions menu. Select the option labeled Options. In that window select the Zero All Data option checkbox. Open the initialization menu. Select initialization options. You want to make sure the iMac formats its hard drive in HFS+ or Mac OS Extended. Once you've selected all the initialization options click the Initialize button. It will then format the hard drive & check it for bad sectors. Then reinstall the Mac OS. Then it should be ready to sell.

  • Software to wipe my hard drive clean

    hello
          I am a novice and would like to wipe my windows xp hard drive clean and reinstall windows xp over again.  I have attempted to do some homework / research and this method appears to be the  is the easiest for
    me to work with. 
           I downloaded an application called Derik's Boot and Nuke and burned it on to four cd's  through a  software called ISO Buster.   When burning one cd I saw a
    total of four different methods of burning Derik's Boot and Nuke using  ISO Burner. So I burned all four methods on four different  cd's.   When I  wipe  out my hard drive I need to load just
     one of the four discs in my computer and I am not certain which one to use.  These are the four types of  discs  I have burned. 
    1.  ISO Buster DBAN ( Short for Derik's Boot and Nuke ) Extracted Video Files
    2.  ISO Buster DBAN Extracted User Data ( tao, iso, img, way)
    3.  Extracted Raw but Convert to User Data ( tao, iso way) 
    4.  Extracted Raw Data 2352 By Test block bin iso 
         Anyone with any knowledge please  explain which one to  use.    Thank you. 

    hello
          Thank you for your reply.  Perhaps I  forgot  some important  information.  My computer is infected with Malware  & Adware.  I have tried to run virus removal tools. 
    When I do I get error messages when I go to install them.  At present I do not have software  to reinstall yet.  I am  a novice and trying to teach myself as I go along.  Also trying to avoid calling  tech support.  If you
    can further help this I would appreciate.   Thank you. 

  • How can I wipe my hard drive and restore to factory settings without the use of the original OS CD?

    I have a 2010 MacBook and I need to wipe the hard drive and restore to factory settings.
    The problem is that even though I have the original disc, the CD drive has stopped functioning and will reject any disc put into it.
    Therefore, is there another method to do this without the CD?

    Not very easily.  To restore to factory software you need the original installation DVD (CDs).
    If you have another Mac which is the same make and model so that those installation DVD (CDs) would work, you can use a Firewire cable between the 2 Macs and then put your Mac to be reset into Target mode and use the other Mac to install the software.  However I suspect that is unlikely.

  • Can I wipe my hard drive clean without the Snow Leopard CD?

    I've searched and have seen some mixed reviews. This is my issue:
    I have a Macbook Pro from 2007. If you need any other info, let me know. It had Tiger on it for the longest time, until I bought an iPod touch that needed snow leopard to run. So I upgraded it a few years ago...I bought the disc at the store and upgraded it. Now that I am out of college, I don't use my laptop a whole lot besides just the usual internet surfing and things. Well now I am getting ready to start a new job that I will be on it all the time and use Excel and other programs. Over the years, I have things on it that I really don't want/need anymore. I would like to wipe it clean of everything and start fresh, only problem is that I can't find the snow leopard cd, or any other cd's that came with the laptop. From what I am reading I seem to need the snow leopard disc to do this? Can I go out and buy a new disc? Do I need the disc to do this?
    Any help would be appreciated!
    Thanks!

    You said "Do I need any of the discs that came with the Macbook Pro?"
    So I said thems referring to the disks inyour question.

  • How do I wipe my hard drive clean on a Mac Air so I can sell it?

    I have a Macbook Air I want to sell and need to take all my stuff off.  How do I do that?  It is already on my new computer and saved.

    Throw away any files which may contain sensitive data, securely empty the Trash, connect its original thumbdrive, restart the computer with the Option key held down, click on it, use the Disk Utility to erase the partition with Mac OS X installed, install a fresh OS onto it, and include the thumbdrive with it.

  • Wipe hard drive clean as part of maintenance?

    A friend recommended that I completely wipe my hard drive clean and reinstall the OS and all programs from scratch as a way to maintain a smooth running machine. My MacBook Pro is 2007 and gets used pretty hard. I regularly move files to an external HD in order to keep space free for operation. It sometimes gets sluggish but i assume that's a symptom of running too many heavy programs at once (I sometimes run Windows on VM Ware while using Photoshop and/or Illustrator with the usual iTunes and a web browser).
    Is this a necessary or advisable form of maintenance?
    thanks in advance for advice!

    No. That is not maintenance. This is maintenance:
    Kappy's Personal Suggestions for OS X Maintenance
    For disk repairs use Disk Utility. For situations DU cannot handle the best third-party utilities are: Disk Warrior; DW only fixes problems with the disk directory, but most disk problems are caused by directory corruption; Disk Warrior 4.x is now Intel Mac compatible. TechTool Pro provides additional repair options including file repair and recovery, system diagnostics, and disk defragmentation. TechTool Pro 4.5.1 or higher are Intel Mac compatible; Drive Genius is similar to TechTool Pro in terms of the various repair services provided. Versions 1.5.1 or later are Intel Mac compatible.
    OS X performs certain maintenance functions that are scheduled to occur on a daily, weekly, or monthly period. The maintenance scripts run in the early AM only if the computer is turned on 24/7 (no sleep.) If this isn't the case, then an excellent solution is to download and install a shareware utility such as Macaroni, JAW PseudoAnacron, or Anacron that will automate the maintenance activity regardless of whether the computer is turned off or asleep. Dependence upon third-party utilities to run the periodic maintenance scripts had been significantly reduced in Tiger and Leopard. These utilities have limited or no functionality with Snow Leopard and should not be installed.
    OS X automatically defrags files less than 20 MBs in size, so unless you have a disk full of very large files there's little need for defragmenting the hard drive. As for virus protection there are few if any such animals affecting OS X. You can protect the computer easily using the freeware Open Source virus protection software ClamXAV. Personally I would avoid most commercial anti-virus software because of their potential for causing problems.
    I would also recommend downloading the shareware utility TinkerTool System that you can use for periodic maintenance such as removing old logfiles and archives, clearing caches, etc. Other utilities are also available such as Onyx, Leopard Cache Cleaner, CockTail, and Xupport, for example.
    For emergency repairs install the freeware utility Applejack (not compatible with Snow Leopard.) If you cannot start up in OS X, you may be able to start in single-user mode from which you can run Applejack to do a whole set of repair and maintenance routines from the commandline. Note that AppleJack 1.5 is required for Leopard. AppleJack is not compatible with Snow Leopard.
    When you install any new system software or updates be sure to repair the hard drive and permissions beforehand. I also recommend booting into safe mode before doing system software updates.
    Get an external Firewire drive at least equal in size to the internal hard drive and make (and maintain) a bootable clone/backup. You can make a bootable clone using the Restore option of Disk Utility. You can also make and maintain clones with good backup software. My personal recommendations are (order is not significant):
    1. Retrospect Desktop (Commercial - not yet universal binary)
    2. Synchronize! Pro X (Commercial)
    3. Synk (Backup, Standard, or Pro)
    4. Deja Vu (Shareware)
    5. Carbon Copy Cloner (Donationware)
    6. SuperDuper! (Commercial)
    7. Intego Personal Backup (Commercial)
    8. Data Backup (Commercial)
    9. SilverKeeper 2.0 (Freeware)
    10. MimMac (Commercial)
    11. Tri-Backup (Commercial)

  • Wiping you hard drive clean!

    I have a 4 year old macbook pro with mountain lion on it. I wish to reset my hard drive and i read that in order to wipe you hard drive clean you need to put the installation cd that came with the laptop. So my question is, will i lose mountain lion in the process and have my macbook pro set back to Leopard??

    Yes but you can reinstall it from the Mac App Store for free after you wipe the drive reinstall Leopard and Snow Leopard, or just use the Snow Leopard disc to first reinstall Snow Leopard (Leaving Leopard out of the mix) then uipdate that from Software Update to 10.6.8 and then go to the MAS and redownload Mt Lion.

  • How do I keep programs such as Word when I wipe my hard drive to reinstall Snow Leopard?

    I am having serious issues with Lion. Even after the update, I lose WiFi, my mailbox crashes, Word crashes without saving a backup, and it has just been a very distasteful experience. I talked with Apple, and they couldn't help me resolve issues beyond telling me to bring it in or reinstall. I am choosing to reinstall Snow Leopard. I am going to wipe my hard drive clean and start over. Could someone tell me how to keep programs such as Office '11 though? I am currently at school and I didn't bring my Office software with me to reinstall, so how could I save it? I can't really do a time capsule since I am running Lion and I want to reinstall Snow Leopard.

    If you are going to wipe the disk then you will have to reinstall the software.
    You can't have your cake and eat it also.

  • How wipe hard drive clean without a disk and reinstall OS?

    Running a 15" Mid 2010, OS 10.8.3; after migrating Profile to new MacBook want to wipe hard drive clean & reinstall Mountain Lion 10.8.3 in order to give to daughter as a "new" computer. All I can find in archived discussions is how to do it w/ a disk.

    Yes I would.
    The iLife Apps, "i" Photo, Movie and Garageband (And "i" DVD and WEB if you Mac came with Snow Leopard originally), are not included with the Operating system. They are separate applications that you need to either download from the Mac App Store, from your Purchases area once you have logged into the MAS with the Apple ID you used to register that Mac with, or from the second System Reinstall Disc, the Applications disc, that came with your Mac if it originally came with Snow Leopard.
    So I read you are running a Mid 2010 MBP. In that case you would need to use the second Original System Disc to reinstall the iLife Applications.
    That may be a problem for you as the iLife apps that came with that system are 3 years old and may not want to install on Mt Lion 10.8.3.
    If you run into problems installing them from that second system disc you may have to start off by first reinstalling Snow Leopard and then the iLife Apps and Then Upgrade to Mt Lion. Making sure after installing Snow Leopard and the iLife Apps you update everything through Software Update before you do the Mt Lion upgrade.
    Sorry about the hassle but blame Apple for that.
    Hopefully you have the Original system discs but if you don't then you can order a replacement set from Apple for a small charge.
    Good Luck & Best Wishes.
