I've been helping out some of my friends with their computers, which they were getting ready to sell and came across Kill Disk.  With Kill Disk you can be sure that the files on your hard drive are erased well enough, so that no one can recover them.  Great for any computers that may have very personal information on it.  It should work with just about any computer, no matter the operating system or size of hard drive.  There are different versions, including a free version that allows you to do a one pass zero method.  You also get updates from Kill Disk free as well.  If you chip in some money for the paid version, you can do up to 99 passes on your hard drive (making your data harder to recover) and it writes over your drive with algorithm's that support 17 security standards.
          Kill Disk uses your bios to delete your hard drive, which means you will have to boot from your Kill Disk CD.  Check it out for your self because it is especially important that your hard drive is clean a and safe from thieves.  Here is the link: Kill Disk.  If you have any questions about how to use it or have any other hard drive erase methods please leave a comment.  Thanks for reading.

        

          This sounds like a no brainer right?  It's common sense, so why am I telling you?  Well it's because people don't realize how dangerous it can be to not delete everything off a hard drive.  It came to me after I bought a used Xbox 360 hard drive.  I went on it to start moving my files from my old hard drive to the new one.  And I noticed that there were two credit cards on it.  Now if I was some thief that would be like finding a gold mine.  But it's not only game console hard drives that you should worry about, but any type: external, cell phones, computers, even media players.  Sometimes we don't realize how personal our devices are and they can quickly be used in the wrong manner.  I know I don't want to see a surprising bill of $5000 dollars worth of games and music that I didn't purchase.  Also this a good time to rethink what we put in our portable devices.
