1 | Hi, |
2 | Sold my laptop on Ebay. It was dual boot Gentoo/XP Pro and had |
3 | financial data on it. I'd like to pretty securely wipe the drive |
4 | before shipping. I've already deleted all 10 partitions and written |
5 | new partitions on which are different sizes and different file |
6 | systems. What simple command can Ido to write data to the whole drive? |
7 | |
8 | After doing this I will be deleting all partitions again and |
9 | running the XP reinstall disk from Compaq so that the new buyer gets a |
10 | machine more or less ready for him to work. (I offered to set him up |
11 | with Gentoo but he didn't byte.) ;-) |
12 | |
13 | Cheers, |
14 | Mark |
