I like to wipe the disk with DBAN (http://dban.sourceforge.net/) and then physically destroy the drive with side cutters, hammer, drill, etc as much as time permits. At home, fire is my friend, and they usually melt.
DBAN, auto-clave, etc don't touch remapped sectors, which is why physical destruction is important. Is anyone aware of any tools that wipe remapped sectors? How about any tools that can read from these sectors (often the whole sector is not bad)? Lastly, if the disks are not bad and the situation allows, consider the earlier suggestion to wipe and donate.

Is anyone aware a company in the Raleigh/Durham Burlington Area that will do this. Any help will be appreciated. ------------------ Marvin Blackburn Systems Administrator Glen Raven "He's no failure.
