O&O SafeErase - 35
Note: Please bear the Warnings in mind and confirm the security prompts if still sure. When the computer reboots
all data will be SafeErased this can take up some time. Please do not turn off the computer during this process,
otherwise the deletion process might not be completed correctly.
Completing the deletion process
After the security prompts, you will be asked to restart the computer. During the restart, all hard disk drives connected
to the computer will be erased. The system partition is then deleted so that the system can be restarted and complete
the deletion process. Please bear in mind that a deletion process which has been started cannot be cancelled.
After completing the deletion, the computer will restart. On the screen you will see an error message informing you that
no operating system could be found. You can now install a new operating system or sell it. All data is SafeErased.
