Btrash Posted September 17, 2008 Report Share Posted September 17, 2008 If you are completely paranoid you could use Darik's Boot and Nuke which formats using DoD 5220-22.M standards, which I believe is 52 passes of writing 0's over the entire contents of the hard drive. Any data will not be able to be recovered, even by the most expensive and/or professional resources. http://sourceforge.net/projects/dban/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
