I need remove all the data from this drive, or just remove the drive and recover the data later. The processor on my laptop is kaput, but that also means that any extended use of the processor will force my machine to shut down. This makes using HDD 'Wiper' programs a bit difficult to solve this problem. Can someone please explain to me:-
(1) If I just unscrew the HDD and store it, then later can I simply bunk it into an enclosure and read the partitions normally? Is this a problem given there is a full install of Win XP sitting on this thing?
(2) In case I use a program to wipe the drive, what would you reccommend as freeware?
Thanks for your time.
