• Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.

Is this effective (erasing/formatting drive)

So I have to send a drive back to HP as they sent the replacement..and can't have company stuff on it.. so I formatted it, and created a batch file that did

start
Echo 010101010101010101..... >> garbage.000
goto start

(not gonna type it out excatly..)

Then when the file got to about 200 megs, I made another batch file that did

start
type d:\garbage.000 >> d:\garbage.000
goto start

and I figure I'll let it run until the disk fills up (or the computer starts on fire)..
then I'll format again, and run it again.. then format..
