If your hard disk drive or other storage media contains sensitive data,
you should be aware that standard deletion procedures do not remove
data from the media. These standard deletion procedures include:
■
Selecting Delete for a target file
■
Putting files in the Recycle Bin and emptying the Recycle Bin
■
Reformatting the media
■
Reinstalling an operating system from the recovery CD-ROM
The procedures above delete only the initial part of the data used for file
management. This makes the file invisible to the operating system, but
the data can still be read by specialized utilities. If you dispose of the
computer, please delete all the data on its hard disk drive. Doing so
prevents unauthorized use of such data. To ensure your data is not
used for unauthorized purposes, you can:
■
Physically destroy the hard disk drive
■
Use a proven specialized utility to overwrite all data
■
Take the hard disk drive to a professional deletion service
All data deletion costs will be borne by you.
