Hi Richard,
It depends on how sensitive the data you have on that drive
is. If you have anything personal and sensitive which you
would not wish others to see, you cannot simply format it
and hope for the best. You would therefore need to obtain
a special program which uses special techniques to
completely obliterate the information. The following may
seem like scare-mongering, but I assure you 100% that it is
not.

Subject: [access-uk] ANOTHER USB HARD DRIVE QUESTION
Hi, I'm selling a USB hard drive, and need to ensure that
all data is gone before I do so. Can delete what's there
obviously, but wonder if a reformat would be the best thing
to do. If so, what type of format?
Thanks as usual for replies.
