Clean install - wipe ssd

[Taliseian]

Greetings,

I need to reinstall W7 on to my SSD (128g Torqx) and from reading various sources it may be best to completely wipe the ssd.

I'm curious what would be the best way to do that. Would just removing the partitions during setup work or is there software that will do a complete wipe of all the flash memory in the drive?

Thanks in advance....

That would do a quick format. To completely wipe the drive, open a command prompt and enter the following:

diskpart
list disk
select disk [whatever the number of the SSD is]
clean all

That should do it.
