Re: Hard Drive data security

[Jonathan Loh <kj6loh () yahoo com>]

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.
