Hi,

I recommend using free KillDisk software to erase your drive. KillDisk
erases the whole HDD, it is impossible to recover any data after using
it. KillDisk also supports some highly secure erase algorithms such as
DoD M5220 and Guttman's. After using KillDisk you should re-partition
and re-format your drive to use it from scrath. Head to
www.killdisk.com for more info and download.

It is NOT impossible to recover data after scrubbing a drive. Just beyond
the capabilities of probably anyone but a VERY good data recovery lab and
the government.

The DoD M5220 and Guttman's Wipe are NOT algorithms, they just define how
one should wipe the disk. Guttman's wipe is pointless if it's a newer disk,
and he says so in his paper. If you want to make a disk as unrecoverable as
possible, just wipe it as many times as you can with random data.
