what software for completely wiping a Hard drive?
i know there was a thread about this recently but do you think i can find it??? 25 minutes of searching & i'm still none the wiser so apologies for asking a question thats already been answered
anyway, i'm having a clear out & have about 12 old hard drives lying around, i'm thinking of selling them but obvioulsy i'd need to clear them down properly before doing so
since most of these have come from old machines i've stripped down i don't actually know whats been on them during their lifetime, so partly to protect myself from what other people may or may not have been up to, and partly not to fall foul of the data protection act (slim chance but would rather be safe) whats the best software for completely wiping a hard drive so that none of the previous data is recoverable
cheers
