but it needs to be quick as I have to clone up to 8-12 machines a day. We found that by cloning over a drive that needed to be upgraded - that some of the origional data was recoverable from the drives that had been recloned ? In this case I think that a 1x wipe will accomplish our needs. I have also been tasked to do the same wiping on the hard drives that we are recloning. Gdisk 1 /view:0 /num:3 > a:\test.txt or ? I wonder if this could be done using something like I need to print the results to prove that it has been performed. Of course the files on the drive have been erased or deleted but it looks like all that happened is the files are gone - and it looks like the data can be retrived using ERD commander or ontrack's Easy Recovery program.ĭue to todays privacy laws and the idenity theft problems - I have to certify that the origional data is gone. Gdisk 1 /view:3 /num:3 (is there an explaination of these codes available - view & Num ?)Īnd it shows the same data that was on the drive origionally. To perform this I used the following commands I used another program to overwrite a drive with 44's and then ran GDisk to see if it would re-over write the drive with 00 or ff's or. so far it dosn't look like it is working.

from either a hard drive or USB flash drive using GDisk and then verifying that it was truely performed. I used another program to overwrite a drive with 44's and then ran GDisk to see if it would re-over write the drive with 00 or ff's or. I am trying to delete / wipe all of the data, etc. So far it dosn't look like it is working. I am trying to delete / wipe all of the data, etc.
