[QUOTE="Myriad, post: 621980, member: 52792"] As others have mentioned in this thread .... Use DBAN and follow it up with physical destruction , if it makes you happy :) The 3 pass deletion method should be fine . Note : if you are running DBAN from a CD/DVD , be patient , it can be slow to boot . ( and take great care which drive you select ! ) You can forget about the Gutmann 35 pass method .... even Peter Gutmann has said that it no longer matters with modern drives .
