I have a new laptop that the harddrive is dying on.
I have a warranty replacement on the way.
I have our company's source code on the drive.
I just got the thing to boot (probably for the last time)
Is there a simple command I can run to make sure that the data on the drive after I delete the source code dir is completely gone?
I'm using reiserfs.

P.S. don't know how long it will stay up, so time is of the essance

You could always take the drive out, take the screws out of it, and break the disk(s) inside, if you're really paranoid about the data. Your company should absorb the cost, if the the PC outfit gets upset about not getting the old drive back.
For Dos and Windows FS's there are several programs that promise to write eeeeeee...all over the disk, but I'm not sure that you can do that in Linux. Someone will know. . . .
