I am running a HP Pavillion ze5500 with Windows XP. I have to send this notebook back to get fixed because it is heating up every time I use it and the whole bottom gets very very hot and so does the plug. I don't want to send it in with all my personal information on the hard drive so I would like to erase it. Can you tell me how and if I do reformat it, will anyone still be able to take information off of it? I need a speedy answer because I have to send it back soon. Thanks so much.
