| 685884 | 2008-07-07 07:43:00 | To write some '0' across the disk? did you read my faq? did you really read it? did you understand it? to wipe a 250Gb drive you may be looking at 5-10 hours depending on how many passes you do and such like. any program that give results in less than an hour is NOT doing it right. |
