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).

    Repeat the sector writing using different random values.

Javier,

>>Repeat the sector writing using different random values.<<

I guess I am on the right track.  I was going to repeat it using 0 and 1.. and as you stated multiple passes.
