[RESOLVED] Utility to completely erase a hdd

[tk421]

Got a customer who needs his hdd obliterated. What is a good utility to use to do that (short of a LLF obviously)?

thanks.

Is it because of confidential or sensitive data? You can always use software such as Evidence-Eliminator (I believe you can still download an evaluation copy) to completely wipe any trace of any files. If not, a fdisk/mbr followed by using fdisk to delete the partitions should do the trick.

Or a zerofill utility from the company that made the harddrive

Wipe.com works great for me.
