Hi, I am looking for a quick way to clear an HDD of old data, partitions, etc.
I found this on /. thru a google search: dd if=/dev/random of=/dev/hdX When i do this from a console shell after booting from a woody install disk, It does not seem to work ... i.e. I can still see the old partition table in fdisk ... Is there maybe a better dd invocation ? aloha, dave -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
