QF A330, you do not indicate what make of PC you are selling.

Most (sophisticated/modern) manufacturers have a hidden partition on the disk which allows you to restore the system back to when it was purchased.

With Dell machines it is called Dell PC Restore, but I know others benefit from this system.

The techies out there will probably respond as to whether this actually deletes your sensitive data.........
