You contingency bond an outmost cd rom expostulate around a USB, easy.
other options?, take out a hdd, instal in an additional pc.
connect 2 pc’s, most more…> a most appropriate is choice 1, regulating a OS CD

Using many ways.
1. IF you have an external cdrom, use a live linux cd or bootable windows cd (XP/VISTA etc) and boot from it. Then you can format your hard drive.
2. OR use a usb stick to boot a disk wipe software like Darik’s Boot and Nuke. For details, read this link:

3. Take out the hard drive from your laptop (google for instructions) and put it in a 2.5″ usb enclosure (its not SSD, isn’t it), connect to the usb port of another computer and format it.
WHen formatting, remember not to select the quick or fast/easy format.
look for a near by lake.. Or put it in the microwave
