Glenn Posted October 26, 2005 Share Posted October 26, 2005 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.

Tarun Posted October 26, 2005 Share Posted October 26, 2005 Or just format it 6 times, then fdisk to destroy the partition and format again. 7 times overwrites all data. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
