Netbook Privacy // Delete all private data (passwords, bookmarks etc.)

I want to sell my ASIS Eee 901 netbook and need to delete all private data.
I know doing a safe format and overwrite all partitions would be a safe way to do it, but I need to leave all software on the box.
Apart from deleting all MSIE and FF bookmarks and privacy data, are there any other hidden data I should delete as well? Guideline, tool?

Hi go4java,

There's a program called WipeDrive, this program is intended to wipe your drive for safety reasons. Here's the link: http://www.whitecanyon.com/erase-file-index.php

Thanks, but I don't want to WIPE the drive, just erase private data (form data etc.).
Will CCleaner do the job "safely"?
