Formatting the hard drive will erase all the data and provide a clean slate for the school to install their own software and programs. Using SCANDISK or CHKDSK will only check for errors on the hard drive and may not completely erase all data. The CONVERT command is used for changing the file system of a hard drive and is not necessary in this scenario.
