    Hi all,

    going to sell my m1330 soon on ebay and would like to be sure that I won't be leaving any data on it.
    I know that I can overwrite a HDD with dummy data in order to achieve this.
    However, I would like to keep the original Dell partition intact.
    Is it possible to partially wipe a HDD?

    Appreciate the help.

    Thanks
