Zero write it. Your HDD manufacturer should have a disk or download utilities to do just this thing.

are you worried about the NSA coming after you? Then use DBAN.

If you just want to delete stuff so you can reinstall, just quick format it and call it a day.

DBAN is also good if you plan on selling your drives.

Thanks,

downloading dban now.

Not worried about the NSA or nothin like that, I just like to do things once and do them proper
