Ghost the drive or use ntbackup to copy the data off. Then download a
disk utility from the hard disk manufacturer and perform a low level
format of the disk....

Subject: Hard Drive data security

Hi,
   I have a question about hard drive data security. The hard drive on
my notebook is failing and Dell is going to replace it. They are going
to take the old one with them. How can I securely remove the data from
the hard drive?

Thanks,
Paul
