“I want to wipe the disc CLEAN with a 35-pass gutmann erasure.”

A little anal, aren’t you?

I just generally use the old breach action 410. Two shells, little data on that hard disc is easily retrievable except by that wierd chick with the goth hair on CSI.

I do have sympathy for the thread starter however. PCs are going the route of the airlines. Miserable experience each and every time — count on it.

Just like to be sure ...

I worked at MCI a long time ago. They did an upgrade to all of their switches - via CD sent to each site [a couple of hundred switches].

They used a custom CD replicator business to make the CDs from a master. BUT, unknown to them, an employee at the business MODIFIED the code on the master CD to include a virus.

EVER SINCE then, when I purchase a new PC, I COMPLETELY erase the HD and re-load with a clean OS!
