erasing HD

[Mike]

I'm getting rid of my comptuer and would like to find some software that'll
run in DOS that'll overwrite my harddrive several times so the data can't be
recovered. Does anyone know of any decent s/w that does this?


Thanks

Look into the archives. This has been discussed here countless
times.

IIRC, the one at tolvanen.com is the real thing. The other may well
be a copy, but I don't know.
