Does anyone know where I can remove the memory card? from a computer?

Question

I tried looking it up but all I get is those memory cards for cameras...

I'm not sure what it is, except that it contains computer memory.

Also, I remember someone saying that I need to remove this before getting rid of my computer.

if someone could help that would be great. Thanks

I came across this:

Could it be the RAM stick

Answer 2

I want to remove all personal data from the computer

I know this is not a homework question...

but, if anyone could help

Answer 3

The only ways I know are these:

1. Get to the DOS prompt (usually C:\) and use the Fdisk command to completely reformat the hard drive. Then you'd need to use your recovery disk to reinstall Windows or whatever you use.

or

2. Manually delete all data you want removed. Go into My Computer or Windows Explorer to find all those files and delete them. Be sure to completely empty the "recycle bin" also.
THEN use the defragment command -- probably more than once.

The first method works better than the second.
