Use eraser, or norton wipe, or some other tool to erase the whole thing. Eraser is a free utility. But note this only works if the company uses just another computer to try to recover your data. If they use scanning microscopy well then...... but that's expensive. That's if you can access the drive. If you can't powerful magnets work really well. Just make sure the harddrive is out of the computer when you do that. --- Paul Kurczaba <paul () myipis com> wrote:
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
