I am about to sell my Mac Mini on Craigslist, and I want to wipe the entire system hard drive. How do I do this? When I go to the Disk Utility, it only allows my to wipe the free space. I want to wipe everything. Thanks!

    Just posted the thread you suggested, NOFEER. Similar to the link your posted, but I updated it for SL and added the install process at the end.



    Hope it helps!

    Got the PDFs for Mac (21 steps) and iOS (5 steps) on the thread now. Sticky perhaps?
