Re: scrubbing my oldhard drive

[Robert Eye]

OS 9 has the ability to write zeros to the disk. Doing
this several times would be sufficient for most cases
of transferring ownership of a computer (or individual
HD) to a new user.

I believe there is an option on Norton Utilities for
pre-X systems that does a secure erasure.

For *all* cases, incineration of the HD is the best
option. :-)

OS X's disk utility has options for thorough erasure. I can't  
remember of OS 9's disk tools had the same.

Hi, 
I'd like to scrub my old hard drive before parting with it since my finanical 
information has been on this one.  Anyone used the Super Scrubber 
application? or have another suggestion?
