Hi,
You'll be just fine. The difference between secure and normal erase is
that whin secure erase is used, zeros are written over the area where
the files were located. Other than that, I wouldn't wory about that.
Besides, if you want to secure erase free space on your drive fore
some reason, you can always do that in utilities and the Disk option.
There you can Erase once, 7, or 35 times. Each time, the system writes
letters over the free space on your HD according to your selection.
