Gordon was at the June meeting. His utility has a mode that doesn't use SECURITY ERASE UNIT as well. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Hale Landis Sent: Thursday, July 07, 2005 12:55 PM To: T13 List Server Subject: [t13] erasing a disk This message is from the T13 list server. FYI... I think I read that Dr. Gordon Hughes is going to talk about "security erase" issues at the next T13 meeting? If you are interested in this subject, you may be aware that there are a bunch of free/share/GNU-ware programs out there that claim to erase all the data on a disk - most don't use the SECURITY ERASE command. Here is a link to one of these programs- DBAN - http://dban.sourceforge.net/ At the bottom of this page there is a good set of links to "similar products". Parts of the DBAN FAQ is interesting too.
