We know that deleted files can be recovered. Anyone here know of a utility
that completely erases specific files from the HD, rendering them
unrecoverable?
thanks
Eraser,
http://www.heidi.ie/eraser/default.php
(From WEB site:)
Eraser is an advanced security tool (for Windows),
which allows you to completely remove sensitive data
from your hard drive by overwriting it several times with
carefully selected patterns.
Works with Windows 95, 98, ME, NT, 2000, X
Great, thank you. Have you tested it?

If this is so, why is there talk of flash memory being used to replace HDs?
I don't see why a solid state device should lose ability to store...it's
not the same tech as a cD-RW disc.

Like all flash memory devices, flash drives can sustain only a limited
number of write and erase cycles before failure. Mid-range flash drives
under normal conditions will support several hundred thousand cycles,
although write operations w
able.

will use a large flash RAM to cache the OS to make start times faster.
