March 14, 2004 Drive Wipe | ||||
---|---|---|---|---|
| ||||
I have two old computers that are decommissioned. Before dumping them in the trash I wish to "Security Wipe" the drives so they can not be recovered.
I was looking at the dos_abs_disk_write function. Is there a better Function/way to ensure that I can wipe the entire drive(s).
