Well let me rephrase that, my pc has a few different programs, including seatools with IS detecting the hard drive, but diskwipe, as well as "computer" is not recognizing the hard drive, and thus not allowing me to destroy it.

Any ideas on how to rectify this, because the "solutions" on Google are NOT working in my favor.
Okay, so I just learned something new. Google was right, BUT what they neglect to tell you, is that you MUST use another mac to delete a mac hard drive.

So that is currently happening now.

In the next post, will be a few pictures of the 4 desktop PCs I also picked up. 2 of them, have 2 of the biggest heat sinks I have yet to find. Also, one of them has 4 gb of ram, which I would have started using, but it is missing the hard drive.
