fennfam3 182 Report post Posted March 5, 2012 junaid hamza, A really good format program is called "Darik's Boot & Nuke" and is easy to use. You will need to create a cd\dvd or flash drive to use this. You can tell it how many swipes to do and type. Be for warned that this can take many, many hours depending one they type and number of swipes you do. That all depends on how efficient you wish to clean. If you are just wanting to wipe the drive to reinstall an OS for yourself then the OS will do just fine or you can simply do a format through DOS promt. Here is the link to Boot & Nuke. Please read all info here before proceeding. http://www.dban.org/ 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

iONik 11 Report post Posted June 30, 2012 Formatting your drive with any software will do little to make it secure. You will need to wipe the drive with a multipass software such as WipeDrive or KillDisk, among the many available. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
