melthebell Posted November 26, 2006 Share Posted November 26, 2006 remove any personal files and sensitive files by using necrofile ( http://www.necrocosm.com/nfinfo.html ) or bcwipe to erase and cover the free space with mock data so they cant be recovered then format and reinstall a fresh windows if needed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

melthebell Posted November 26, 2006 Share Posted November 26, 2006 http://dban.sourceforge.net/ that looks interesting looks like that clears windows / AND data in one go, making it unrecoverable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the_mandarin Posted November 26, 2006 Share Posted November 26, 2006 You can try this software named "Device Scrubber" http://www.iolo.com/ds/download.cfm I had used its previous version some years back (I think it was called Incinerator back then) http://www.iolo.com/sm/5/tool.cfm?tool=72&collection=SM Incidentally the same company makes a software called "Undelete" that it claims can recover deleted files. May be it would be a good idea to download and try them both. One of them has to fail Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slh73 Posted November 26, 2006 Share Posted November 26, 2006 Take the hard drive out and put a drill through it. Guaranteed unrecoverable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeP Posted November 26, 2006 Share Posted November 26, 2006 I have to agree with slh73. The only truly secure method that I've ever encountered involves an angle grinder. A military friend of mine elaborated on this with thermite, but that seemed a little excessive to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
melthebell Posted November 26, 2006 Share Posted November 26, 2006 but tbh, as long as youve deleted / formatted 99% of people wont even bother trying to recover stuff, tbh ive tried and failed...lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrainThrust Posted November 26, 2006 Share Posted November 26, 2006 Why are you so paranoid anyway? I'm a paranoid optimist. I believe everyone is out to get me a present Wilf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
