Wipe time

Hey guys,

So my PC is full of stuff and i want to do a TOTAL wipe and start over for my C:/ drive.

ITs two WD Raptors 150gb 10k drives in RAID 0.

What is the best way to totally wipe them 100% clean and reinstall windows and the works.

I have a data drive i might do later too once i get a good back up setup for my pc and mac.

 

Complete format?

 

Doesn't that still leave data fragments? Like last time i reinstalled Windows..every time i boot up you can still see the orginal OS..like i have 2 different Windows OS on it..i mean one works..but it still shows it.

 

Then you didn't actually format the drive in that case.

Delete your RAID array and remake it, then reinstall Windows.

 

Break RAID array, use Parted Magic (Enhanced) Secure Erase on each drive. Data is gone.

 

Parted Magic?? is that a program? run it off a disk drive when you boot up??

 

Yes and it's the dogs testicles!

 

Any program that can secure erase properly will do really. Just need to overwrite every thing with 0's :nerd:
