Let's see what happens... (keep your fingers crossed ;))
If you really want to clear a hard drive entirely (which is what the article seems to be talking about), try using the floppy-based disk utilities you can download from maxtor.com. They include an OS-independent drive checker (it doesn't even care what partitions you have) as well as a low-level reformatter. And since these utilities come from the guys who make the drives, I'm inclined to trust them. Paul Abrahams
