Hi, Sold my laptop on Ebay. It was dual boot Gentoo/XP Pro and had financial data on it. I'd like to pretty securely wipe the drive before shipping. I've already deleted all 10 partitions and written new partitions on which are different sizes and different file systems. What simple command can Ido to write data to the whole drive?
After doing this I will be deleting all partitions again and running the XP reinstall disk from Compaq so that the new buyer gets a machine more or less ready for him to work. (I offered to set him up with Gentoo but he didn't byte.) ;-) Cheers, Mark -- [email protected] mailing list
