Just found this little and nice utility when searching for a tool to
clean free space on my HD and wanted to share. It is called WipeDisk,
wights only 86k and works like a charm. It is freeware, of course.
Here is an excerpt from the help file:
"WipeDisk is a simple, single screen utility whose primary purpose is
to protect the confidentiality of information stored on your
computer's disk drives. It is especially useful if you are upgrading
the hard disk and you want to make sure that wherever your old disk
ends up, no-one has access to the information that was once stored on
it. I use this utility every time I upgrade my drive and sell the old
one. Formatting alone isn't good enough !
"It is not enough to simply erase the files on the hard disk. Even
formatting the disk is inadequate in many circumstances. Wipe the disk
! Even though a file is erased, the information contained in that file
remains present on the disk at least until the file is overwritten,
and perhaps longer. I know; I have recovered full and partial file
information many times using commonly available disk utilities. The
moral of the story is WipeDisk."
