How to i wipe clean a hard drive from a 2007 iMac?
I have an old 2007 iMac. I would like to wipe the hard drive in order to recycle it. Is there a way to do so without using the install disks. My optical drive doesn't work. Thanks
iMac, iOS 8.3
Firewire Target Disk Mode is another way.
Or...
Open System Preferences>Accounts, unlock the lock, click on the little plus icon, make a new admin account, log out & into the new account.
In the same pref pane highlight your old account, click the little minus icon, then use Disk Utility to Secure Erase Free Space.
