Low Level Format program

[andycheah]

Hi everyone,

Any recommendations on a free low level format program to completely erase a HD? I need one that is not brand specific.

Thanks, Andy

Here's a link to brand specific low level format programs

why not just use something like : http://dban.sourceforge.net/
Theres no prog that can do a low level program thats not brand specific since each brand has their own version of low level format, thus the best you can get in a generic program is a prog like dban that will just use dod data destruction methods to erase data

Thanks for the quick replies...

Has anybody used KillDisk? http://www.killdisk.com/eraser.htm

I need a reputable program since it's for work. The company doesn't mind paying.

debug

ah.. back to the days when HDs were measured in megs, and not gigs..

cheers,

I need a program (preferrably a reputable brand) that will ensure data on a HD cannot be recovered with recovery software or by other means.
