I have a laptop with an SSD (primary) and HDD that I want formatted.
I'm sending a laptop back for repair and I want the disks to be formatted before I do so. It overheats within ~2 minutes of turning on with a ungodly loud system beep and crash.
This isn't enough time to tell if the disks are formatted.
I used the Windows CD and pressed format on the pre-installation screen. It didn't seem to take any time to do so. Upon restarting it it says MBR not found. Does this mean both disks are erased sufficiently?
Is there a better method for erasing them?
Thanks for any help you can provide.
