Hello Leong,

Point 1: use "dd" if using linux. If using windows, boot a linux cd
(i.e. knoppix) and use "dd"... :-)))

Point 2: I don't understand your question. sorry...

Hi, guys.

May I joined in the discussion?

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

You will have to make a copy bit by bit of your hard drive, then you
must use a software like Evidence Eliminator in order to delete your
data from the HD that Dell will take back.

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?

Thanks,
Paul
