[QUOTE="pm-r, post: 1639164, member: 175845"] As I recall I would have used Disk Utility and used the option to zero out or as it seems to called these days, Secure Erase, one pass and one partition and appropriate format with the actual drive selected, the topmost "name", not just the existing partition name. Then wait, as a large hard drive can take a few hours to completely nuke. ;) [/QUOTE]
