Subject: [uug] Scrub the hard Drive clean


I'm trying to sell my laptop, and would like to scrub the Hard Drive clean;
so my personal files, financial data, etc. are not recoverable to the new
owner.  Is there a good utility to use to scrub a hard drive clean, so the
data is not recoverable?  Would Eraser work?  I'm trying to figure out a
utility that is running on an OS could delete that OS.  Ummmh?

Anyway, any pointers?

thanks,

john
