Ok, so my buddy wants fresh install etc no data recovery on his alienware desktop. His pc is bein a peiece of shit. So he gave me his 2 1tb hard drives and his 250ssd . To wipe this im assuming i can just put in my pc and format/wipe them all for him then start from scratch back in his pc? When doing this do i wipe the hhds and ssd and leave all sspace unallocated before putting back in his pc? Or do i need to partion/format the drives giving them pathways? New to this kinda stuff help would be great

Just leave them in his pc.
Boots from windows media and delete the partitions.
Then format the unallocated space on the ssd and install windows.
Then format the 1tb's in windows unless you want to raid them.
