Private Files == Browsing (email/shopping/online banking) on Firefox/IE; music, pictures, video and assorted other docs. I'm probably most concerned about the online banking and any account infor for Amazon etc. I know that short of physicaly destroying the HD nothing is truely safe, but I just want some peace-of-mind that I've done the minimum and haven't missed anything else obvious that anyone else could suggest.
If your really that worried about it then the cost is pretty low compared to the cost of data. Buy a new laptop drive and stick it in and hold on to the one that is in there. I usually buy my laptops with the smallest available from the manufacturer anyway because I can buy a larger one than what they offer and swap it out when I first get the laptop so the original is sitting around doing nothing.
