    PC drive cleaning utilities? Any that are free?

    I'm looking to find something that can wipe my drives clean (CLEAN!)... i see a bunch of utilities that you have to pay for... is there anything out there that is freeware that works just as good?

                          files can still be recovered from a format c:

                              this is good but how can you use it on your primary partition before a fresh install

                                          Company I worked at long ago use to use the format c: deal, basically they had a preset install they just cloned over to the machines. So if the users fucked their machines up with junk, they just came in and did a wipe and reinstall... after all, they weren't suppose to store any files on the their own HD, only on the network stoage appliance.

                                                  what about doing a low level format? I think that's free.

                                                          Those free utilities can cause problems removing shit from other programs making them buggy or don't open at all..avoid them
