[QUOTE="chas_m, post: 996091"] I just want to mention that for anything other than the 1-pass erase, we are talking a VERY VERY long time here. The last time I did a seven-pass, it took TWO DAYS. I've heard stories of 35-pass runs that took over A WEEK (that's 24-7!). Consider yourself warned. Zeroing out the drive should be more than sufficient unless you are working for the CIA. [/QUOTE]
