RE: Hi Don, this is a program I use to wipe hard drives: http://dban.sourceforge.net/ "Darik's Boot and Nuke ("DBAN") is a self-contained boot floppy that= securely wipes the hard disks of most computers. DBAN will automatically= and completely delete the contents of any hard disk that it can detect,= which makes it an appropriate utility for bulk or emergency data= destruction." IHTH Thank`s Mike ... I am sure that we all can use this little gem sometime in our computer user fight`s with the digital monster`s ( grin ) .
