If you know the brand name of the hard drive, you can go to the manufacturers website and download a utility to wipe the drive for you.

Hey all,<br />
<br />
I got nailed with a trojan on my laptop. &nbsp;I have a new harddrive on there with very little on it atm, so I just want to whipe clean and start over. <br />
<br />
I have:<br />
-Lenovo t61<br />
-XP Pro<br />
<br />
I had another HD on this laptop that filled up, so i did the Lenovo windows backup disks. &nbsp;I made the boot disk, and 7 system recover disks. &nbsp;I then put in the new HD, and put on the original state that my laptop was shipped to me from the factory. &nbsp;Then I used a use connection to move the files i needed from the old HD to the new one.<br />
<br />
Now I just want to format this new drive using the same system recovery disks. &nbsp;How do i do this? &nbsp;When i just try to start it up with the startup cd loaded i just get a blue screen and nothing else.<br />
<br />
Thanks all
