Spook63 Posted December 2, 2006 CID Share Posted December 2, 2006 Most Hard Drives come with a CD from the manufacturer, that has disc tools on it. You should be able to write zero's to the drive and then format/partition it again for reuse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimPawlak Posted December 2, 2006 CID Share Posted December 2, 2006 use your xp disk & boot off of it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buntz Posted December 3, 2006 CID Share Posted December 3, 2006 You can also use a software program called Eraser. You make a nuke disk on a floppy,reboot the computer and have it boot off the floppy It took me around three hour last time I use it to clean both harddrives at the same time.

Planatoid Posted December 5, 2006 CID Share Posted December 5, 2006 Do you want to reformat your main HDD, or just delete the contents of a backup HDD? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
