Kill Disk

Depends who you are trying to hide your data from.

Kill disk will do a respectable job, but not against forensic analysis.
If you really want to be safe, then, grind down into fine dust, then heat till there is a molten mass, let cool. dump.

I really don't think your mum will go to those lengths to find out what pron you have on your hdd lol

Thanks your guys. It will help.

The software with many drives includes a low level formatting prog. Some versions of Norton SystemWorks include a utility that will write all zeros in multiple passes and delete info to DES standards.

Pick the highest level of this and run it for a couple of days. That should make everything all gone.
