I went with dban, which is probably overkill in my case, but at least I have
confidence someone wont be able to retrieve my invoices or whatever. I
started it last night, and its almost halfway done. I've got decently large
disks and running 3 passes on them.

please be careful if you really want a secure wipe. Use a real
multipass tool (such as DBAN and others) for doing a secure wipe.
Those single pass simple techniques like dd prevent common utilities
from being able to see the old data but are really not secure from
better forensic techniques. Adeq

I have used Boot and Nuke before, specifically from the Ultimate Boot CD. I
always choose the most passes, but lose interest after 3-4.

Hi all,
Could anyone please post recommendations on wiping data off of a hard
drive? I'm getting rid of my old desktop and want to make sure its clean
before the recipient gets it (not that they would have a clue how to
retrieve data). It's just a precaution.
Thanks,
