Thread: Program to erase the HDD completely!
Phantom 10:37 25th October 2013
Hi, where I can find a program (on peecee) that it can erase my HDD completely? As I'm looking forward to sell 2 laptops of mine, I want to wipe everything from the HDD and be secure in the future. Is there any good program.

PS: Sorry Kin, you told me of a program during those 'dark' night converstations we had together , but I really don't remember how you called it.

Well fella, it use to be on this web site but it's now down for ever as of May this year.

Full version too. I can send you the file via ICQ I guess, but it's 170Mb. - Is this possible?

I really don't know. 170MB? I think that will not be possible.

Get into ICQ now. There is no file size from PC to PC.

I'm on-line waiting mate.

The HiRen's boot CD has a number of hdd wiping tools on it. They work by writing 0's across the whole disk overwriting anything and everything on it. Perform a couple of passed over the whole disk with one of these tools and the data will be gone for good. Only perform it once and data can be recovered.

I have a program from O&O called SafeErase, would do the trick.

Hopefully, Phantom has erased the disk with the program I sent him.
