I'm sure all of you know that just zeroing it the whatever, isn't really "wiping". With the appropriate tools you can still recover the data.

Might want to look at a DoD 7-pass erase... Or even:

Just making sure ;)

Ive noticed something. If I use the Windows DD from http://www.chrysocome.net/dd and use this command:

C:\Users\adrian\Desktop\aft>dd if=/dev/zero of=\\. \Volume{de891b6a-8432-11de-86d4-005056c00008} bs=1M --progress

it seems to leave some data on the beginning (sometime) and end (always) if the drive had been formatted NTFS before.

I'm using WinHEX to verify by the way. Any ideas?
