> to copy zeroes over the entire SSD
For those less accustomed with the command line:
* Boot a Jaunty or Lucid Beta-1 desktop CD.
* Start gparted to find the right drive. It should usually be
/dev/sda, but it could also be /dev/sdb if you have more than one
hard disk
* Open a Terminal, and do
sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda
(Replace "sda" with the actual drive, if you have several).
Please note that this IRREVOCABLY ERASES ALL DATA. So please make
double and triple sure that you are not overwriting that other hard
disk, or the USB disk you just attached. To be on the safe side,
disconnect all USB storage before you do this.
