blondeguy,

One of these programs will do the job unless your system falls into the hands of the CIA or NSA or some other agency similarly equipped to recover data.

Actually the only way to ensure that no one can see your data is to physically ruin the drive... My nextdoor neighbor can recover data from crashed/failed drives and ones that have been "accidentally formatted" And he only worked for a middle school... It's never as safe as you think.

Which is why I said a 1" drill bit...
