Is there a way to reset the hard drive in a computer to factory setting (absolutely nothing on the hard drive)
I recently purchased an intel SSD, and i would like to reset.
The SSD is the main drive on my other computer at the moment.
Thanks in advance!

I'll try that...
Edit: I never set a restore point, so when i click on system restore, I get a message telling me "No restore points have been created on your computer's system drive. ..."
I am trying to make it so the SSD has absolutely nothing on it.

You can boot from a different disk then run a utility to clear the drive.
e.g. in Linux you could use the shred command.

I sound a program called Active@ KillDisk that makes a boot disk, and completely deletes a hard drive.
Thanks for all of your help, anyways.
