Another silly question

supershamus · 2006-09-14 18:05:50

I have been given a disc to overwrite all data on my computer hard disc before passing it on to my son. Problem is when i load the disc it does not autorun, so question is how do you get a disc/programme to run? Appreciate any help.

Are you talking about the Windows XP cd so you can format the computer and reinstall?

I know that i could reinstall windows from the disc, but what i am trying to do is ensure that all data is completely erased and can not be retrieved. This disc is a programme called Blanco, passed to me by the company on a complimentary basis.
