Destroying a Hard Drive

by mastertone_tech . Updated 18 years, 2 months ago

I have two hard drives I am trying to dispose of. One is from a laptop CTX I had since 1996 – 1GB hard drive!!! And another from a Dell laptop I currently use, which just went bad.

I was able to run FDISK on the first one and deleted all the partitions without any problem.

I am not able to do anything on the second one. How can I destroy all possible information from it? Is there any other intelligent way to do it before using my sledge-hammer?
