Help with wiping laptop

Rogue-Trooper · 2010-10-05 10:24:55

I have a Dell Latitude laptop that is at the end of it's lease and is going back to Dell but I want to ensure that I have wiped everything from it first. Is there a simple way to permanently wipe all of my data / files / etc? I wouldn't be the 'techiest' person in the world when it comes to computers so go easy on…
