Hi
Although it pains me to do it I have to delete 36,799 WAV files from my 1.5TB HDD and also from the back-up copy.
Both drives were completely full and all the data had to be copied onto 2.0TB drives.
With over 2,400 CDs that have cost me more than £12,000 on them I want to ensure that this valued collection does not get into the wrong hands.
I understand that if I simply format the drives it doesn't erase the data.
What can I do to make sure it is totally deleted? (other than burning the drive - as I want to sell the empty drives)
Many thanks
