Wiping hard drive

geez.... I think the easiest solution would be to get to an MS-DOS prompt and type format C:\ That'll wipe the hard drive to nothing and then you'll be set.

Not necessarily the case ... its amazing what can be found on a 'formatted' drive.

Solution: go get an MRI machine

 

If you don't want it for anything...take it apart....it's cool to see inside too.

Then, sand off the magnetic media on the disk. Really, either that or the MRI...

I think I read somewhere that to really clean a drive you have to run a erase routine at least 7 times....and then, you never really know.

If you're throwing it out...take it apart, use the big hammer, and the sand paper, and the MRI.

And still get your free annual credit reports.
