 » Hard Drive Eraser 2.0
download web site opinions problem?
  Hard Drive Eraser is a free Windows application that permanently erases the data on whole volumes (hard drives). It does so by filling the magnetic surface multiple times with useless binary data. It is a known fact that it is impossible to permanently destroy data just by formatting a hard drive. It doesn't matter if you use Windows formatting or pay for a comerical disk formatting program. It wont work. In essence formatting a drive is the same as deleting files in Windows and than removing them from the Recycle Bin. Just small bits of information (links to files) are removed but the files still reside on the hard drive and it is very easy to recover them using either commercial solutions or one of the applications for data recovery. That's why you may want to use Hard Drive Eraser, to shred the drive partition beyond any possible recovery!
