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?

I was sorta being serious. I have all my files on networked HDDs and keep a copy of a fresh XP install with all my apps installed an ready to go. If I have some sort of issue...bam, format c and my computer is running like the day I bought it.

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.

Take it in the bathroom with you and shit on it. That could do the trick.

Check your drive's manufacturer for support.
Performing a low lever format totally wipes out the drive without the possibility of recovery. Seagate DiscWizard Maxtor Maxblast |
