You can use any of the many "Live *nix" CD's out in internetland to boot the 'puter, mount a samba or nfs share, dd the original drive to a file on the share, then use dd or another "wipe" type utility on the cd to erase the drive. http://www.shockfamily.net/cedric/knoppix/ http://www-106.ibm.com/developerworks/linux/library/l-knopx.html are the first two links from a google of drive recovery knoppix... There are also live cds based on BSD (FreeBSD I believe) that are forensics oriented that you could probably do this with, if you're into BSD. Check out http://www.frozentech.com/content/livecd.php and http://www.linux-forensics.com/links.html TTFN Andy-roo On Fri, 1 Oct 2004 10:02:45 +0800, Leong Kok Wah Kenneth <leongkwkenneth () ocbc com sg> wrote:
Hi, guys. Creative : 1. what software should we use to make a copy bit & bit of data and what about if it is failing? 2. won't these data after restoring into another drive fail to boot-up the system if the 'bad' data is a system file, etc? Thanks kenneth ----- Original Message ----- From: "Paul Kurczaba" <paul () myipis com> Hi, I have a question about hard drive data security. The hard drive on my notebook is failing and Dell is going to replace it. They are going to take the old one with them. How can I securely remove the data from the hard drive?
