How do I perform a low-level HD format???

I want to wipe the contents of a HD on an older PC I want to donate, however I want to ensure that the contents are permanently erased. I don't want someone to be able to run a data recovery app. and restore the contents. Please help. THanks! :confused:

Is it possible to install only IE 5.5 off a Windows ME OEM CD???

I want to install IE 5.5 on a PC, but don't want to wait for the entire thing to download. I do have a Windows ME OEM CD, which I know contains IE 5.5. Problem is, I can't seem to find an option that allows you to skip the installation of the OS, and only go for IE. Any ideas??

Why do I get a blue-screen error upon shutting down ME???

Thanks for the link and info. The NVIDIA web site only appears to offer the 6.31 version, which others have suggested still causes my problem. Where would I get a hold of the newer versions such as 6.47 or 6.49? Thanks
