Re^2: Deleting Files on Win32

Quite a while ago, when I worked for a US helicopter manufacturer, we had to write a security plan for ensuring that classified material on magnetic media could not be read. Our technique was to remove the platter from the hard drive and sand blast off the magnetic medium.

Overkill is very much in the US military tradition; using a good tape degausser would probably be more than adequate.

I've ruined a number of watches (and probably a few brain cells) while running 9 track reels through em. Hmmm ... I need to find that release form that said I wouldn't hold the company liable if I became ill from using the degausser (nothing like forced contracts). -derby	[reply]
