W williamslaterr Prominent Oct 19, 2017 4 0 510 Dec 2, 2017 #1 So I understand using an old hdd can be risky in regards to virus's, so my question is, is it possible to wipe a drive enough to safely assure my new pc wont get any virus's? I do not plan on transferring any data. Simply wiping it clean.
