Thanks Round Rock. Just as I figgered "another computer conspiracy". :busted:

What's the difference between Calendar and Outlook Calendar :o

bro67, it's good that you have a dark humor. You remind me of "funny as a t..d in a punch bowl". Anyway, you're sharp and intelligent.
Good luck in future endeavors.

Thanks to everyone. Problem Solved.

How do I get my copy of Windows OS onto the new HDD? I don't have the original CD?

If I use DBAN instead of Format, does my plan seem to work? I'm still concerned about the "stripped" computer booting from the System Restore CD.
My objective is too turn my old PC over to someone...

The whole purpose of this exercise is to wipe clean my C: drive and restore the Windows 10 OS so I will be protected when I sell my PC. I think the new owner should be entitled to an OS but I don't...

What can I do to protect myself before donating my computer?
:)

How do I change the color of the fonts on my desktop icons?
