    Hey guys.

    I've just picked up an Acer One with a slightly larger HDD etc, so I'm selling off my other model (which I've only had since Christmas).

    What should I do before passing it on to someone else? Is there some kind of 'reset to default' option - and how do I make sure that all my passwords etc are deleted from the system?

    If it came with Linpus, just use the recovery DVD. If you had Windows, just recover from the recovery partition.

    Thanks for the reply.

    I don't have an external drive for the DVD.

    I can see that I have to use a USB memory stick and a separate computer - but I'm not really sure how I do this. :s
