I have a older IBM computer that I would like to donate to Goodwill. I would like to wipe out everything contained on it. How do go about this? I have Windows 95 installed on this computer.

To be absolutely certain of making the disk inoperable you would need to drill holes through it, though the person who you donate it to will have a hard time surfing
