anyone recommend a good free diskwiping software
Afternoon all,
Just wondered if anyone could recommend a decent (free of course) diskwiping software. Have a hard drive that I want to make sure has no recoverable
data on it before I re-install Windows on it. Seen a few about: diskwipe, eraser etc but anyone got any experience?
Cheers,
mads

Just about any Linux live CD can do this at the command line:
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda bs=1M oflag=direct
That will tell it to write zeroes over the entire disk blowing away all your data, the partition table, everything.
Be sure this is what you really want  There's no coming back from this, it will look like a brand new disk.
