Hi, > The recommended method of "Erasing a harddrive" is to first repartition > it, then format it, then overwrite the entire disk 8 times with 0's, > each time deleting the 0's that were there before. actually it is just overwriting the whole drive (partitions dont matter) bye an alternating pattern (0F0F for example) and then overwriting it again with this pattern repositioned (F0F0), OR overwriting the whole disk with 00s and then with FFs, repeat this procedure for 3 times and its sure for private use, repeat it 7 times and its sure for govt use and 15 times really makes it nearly impossible for forensic data rescue companies to recover data. idea behind this is to just create a alternating weak/strong pattern to neutralize the magnetic charge on the disc or well bring it to an equal level all over. bye simon
