Total wipeout on Harddisk

[aleksanderness]

Hey. Whene i delet partisions, and make new once and after that format every partion it dosnt seem like it acutally delets everything. I think something is still stuck. I thought id connect my disk to another pc and use some sort of program to do a total wipeout on all the sectors. And than put it back in my pc to install windows.

So anny one knows of such a program that i could use?
or could i do it trough Bios on command line or something, would that be a 100% wipe?

afaik, there is nothing that can wipe an hdd 100%. but you can get close.
dban

as always, back up your important data before you erase your hdd.

The Dban takes 4 ever but i was wondering if i abort it now after 4 houres. will it be clean from files say virus that dosnt go away whene formating?
I know there prob be some data that could be restored with the right tools. but thats not what i need. Think i got some stuff on it that survies formating and deleting of partitions. thats what i need gone
