What you really want I think is a little program called ZeroDisk.

It simply kills the hard drive to all 0's - it basically goes to looking
straight like it came from the manufacturer.

I'll ask one of the techies here where they got it. It's pretty cool,
they
use it here all the time.

Oh, yes, it was free I believe.

Let me know if you can't find it (a search should turn it up), and I'll
find
out where it came from

Regards,
Edward.
