obviously, you don't want to take out the HD and smash it because you will loose your guarantee, so try to go through this http://www.infoanarchy.org/wiki/wiki.pl?File_Wipe and I suggest pgp tools to wipe your data. you can select the number of rewrites with those tools. The more sensitive your data, the more rewrites you should attempt. ---------- Initial Header -----------

Hi, I have a question about hard drive data security. The hard drive
on my notebook is failing and Dell is going to replace it. They are going to take the old one with them. How can I securely remove the data from the hard drive?
Thanks, Paul
