best software to clean hard drive

What is,in your opinion, the best software to wipe a hard drive clean?:D

A good ol fashion Linux distro =]

lol:D

Active@ KillDisk Is the best for wiping all your info and starting out fresh.

By looking at your avatar I can only suggest that you ask them. If you really need to wipe your HDD I normally use Ubuntu and right click the drive I need wiping and format it. Its good enough for me.

If you really want to wipe it that bad just buy a new one and burn it… Should not be doing anything malicious anyways.

i'm not doing anything malicious:happy:. I just need a software to wipe my hard drive and make sure the info on it can never be recovered:evil:

Fire. Magnets. Acid. Microwaves.

None of which are SOFTWARE :angry:

Anyways, IMO your best bet is to run a dd on your hard drive. The command to run a full zero drive is "dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda bs=1M" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dd_%28Unix%29
