Hi, I have a question about hard drive data security. The hard drive on my notebook is failing and Dell is going to replace it. They are going to take the old one with them. How can I securely remove the data from the hard drive? Thanks, Paul
Hi, http://staff.washington.edu/jdlarios/autoclave/ This does the job if the drive is not dead first. When you are finished _if_ the drive is not showing a reduction in size then I suggest that the problem was operating system related. i.e. if it is not showing bad blocks Pity it only delivers on IDE/ATA drives - however I suppose as there is access to the source and _you_ can patch it or have it patched for you it could be made do so.
