I have an Acer One Aspire which I'm going to sell. I want to wipe the SSD drive to ensure any data is overwritten. I have never done this before, I have an Acer One running Linux.

How do I go about this task?
Do I need to download Dban to a disc first?

Thanks.

Copy Dban to a disk then boot from it

Ok, I need to connect an external disk drive then.

Ccleaner will do this for you and its a freebie download. In option tick the free space box and decide how many time you want to wipe it, press the clean disk button and leave to do the rest.
