How to completely erase a hard drive making the data impossible to recover?
I have a number of hard drives and external hard drives that I no longer need and would like to sell on ebay. Before I do this I want to make sure the drives are completely erased. I know I can format it but I heard you can still recover data from a drive that has been formatted. Is their a way that I can completely erase a drive making it impossible to recover any data from it.
Thanks
eraser it works and it's free. you need to use at least 7 passes for secure deletion and 35 if your really worried. it also come with a nuke boot to wipe everything.
