Yeah so i need a program so i can totallly WIPE my harddrive, and then im gonna use it as a slave on my new computer. So i just needa freeware program that works.
why dont u just format it?? i think that would work
yeah but i want to wipe everything because it was my dads old harddrive and hes an accountant (client info), and id rathe be safe than sorry you know what i mean.
well u could format it put it in ur new computer and use a program called eraser to secure delete the info on it if your that concerned.
Eraser 5.7 includes DBAN 1.0.1 which is intended for a full hard drive wipe. The current version DBAN 1.0.6, which handles newer drives, is available free at dban.sourceforge.net
Determine for yourself if it suits your needs. I've only used it to wipe drives for disposal.
Or just format it 6 times, then fdisk to destroy the partition and format again. 7 times overwrites all data.
you guys are great, thanx
