Disposing of XP Netbook
Someone might get some good our of a working netbook, but obviously I want to remove any personal information. It has no CD/DVD drive. Is there a formatting option which will still boot up?

Netbooks use solid state drives, which are easier to erase securely. If you can boot off a usb drive, I would use DBAN, alomg with installing Lubuntu.
Not that uncommon. The DELL WIN XP Netbook I recently purchased has an SSD system drive. It also has an SDHC slot to expand additional storage space if so desired.
