Hi,Shred will help you - but they will see that you have done this.
We can find the Windows partition from Linux machines. Formate will not be
a good option to remove the files as there are lots recovery tools to
retrieve the old windows files from the HDD, even if you have formatted the
disk. Microsoft is now doing door knocking and ask for the genuine license.
Seems they need some more fund for this financial year. They have some
tools to track the cracked license.
So before formation we need to remove all existing windows files before
formatting the HDD.
I am trying to use the following commands to delete the files on my HDD.
scrub -p dod -f /dev/sdb1
and
shred -n 100 -vz /dev/sdb1
But this commands will take more time to complete the task.
