For an entire Hard Disk, use one of several Opensource solutions. http://dban.sourceforge.net/ http://www.google.com/search?num=100&hl=en&lr=&ie=ISO-8859-1&q=li vecd+wipe+%22hard+disk%22+opensource Windows: Make a partition as large as the Hard Disk's size or erase empty space in an already existing drive. Then use windows cipher.exe: cipher /w:z:\ z:\ being the drive :-) /w if for wiping "empty" space, with 3 passes: write 00's, write FF's, write random numbers. http://www.google.com/search?as_q="cipher%20/w:c:\"&hl=en&as_qt=w &as_eqt=w&as_eq=&as_dt=i&as_sitesearch=&lr=&num=100&btnG=Google+S earch If you are using NTFS partition, perhaps you should also use Sysinternals streams.exe, for wiping Alternate Data Streams: streams -d -s z:\ http://www.google.com/search?as_q=Sysinternals%20"streams.exe"&hl =en&as_qt=w&as_eqt=w&as_eq=&as_dt=i&as_sitesearch=&lr=&num=100&bt nG=Google+Search gurkatoon
