Thanks Tom, jic I still take that route. It seems that installing the OS
and then ecrypting it during the install will do the same job as running
something like Sdelete or Dban, or any other similar program, so I think
just to stay on the safe side not knowing how this particular HDD will
react I'l
Also for the record, reasons I hate windows: It keeps defaulting to
another email I created for testing out some email thing instead of
the one I think i'm currently signed in under. FML. lol

Yes, from my experience it is safe. You may have to add a partition
table before formatting it. If I recall correctly, cfdisk will complain
mildly and ask you to do that. The Linux installer might take it in
stride, or you might have to run fdisk or cfdisk from the USB ISO.

First, my apologies to everyone I CC'ed accidently. I thought when I
replied, it was replying to the post not to each email. I'm not used
to replying to things in this manner, I usually only communicate with
people one on one unless on a forum site.
Ha- Thanks for the advice, I'll look into that o

It seems so, make sure you're replying to the list's address (here:
"debian-user@lists.debian.org"). It's usually not neccessary to reply
to all [1]. In this lists code of cond

Hi,
if unsure, start with a livefile system (like knoppix) and use "shred" to
delete the device.
But be warned: To do so, EVERYTHING will be lost!
After that, you can install any OS you want again.
Best regards

I can't find a reply to list, I tried reply all, does that work? I
currently use PGP for disk encryption, I haven't delved much into

Ralph, Again, use the button reply to list.
Disk encryption don't use gpg. You just have to remember a pass pharase
that you use for unlock your hard disk.
Installer will overwrite all your disk, but if you want you can skip
this step by pressing "cancel" button
please learn what gpg is and wha

Hi,
1) You might want to use "Reply to list", so that all readers can see
your answer.
2) Unneeded files are gone, as soon as you format the disk. Same for any
malware, aside from the fact that Windows malware won't run on Linux
anyway. The only thing possible would be people recovering date from
Hello & welcome to Linux!
To be honest, I haven't found a good reason to zero any media, unless I
was decommissioning it and/or selling it. When you create a new file
system on installation, any new information will overwrite the old one.
And as soon as it's created, the old file system won't be a

Very good choice. Are you expert? If not try to check if you prefer to
