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?
Pass a BIG magnet over the platters! If it's as near dead as it appears, running a wipe program is probably out of the question. Since you probably have to return the thing in some reasonable shape, crushing and cutting are not options. ra -- Old age ain't for Sissies!
