Have something in your hard drive which you don’t want anyone to see it? Something in your hard drive which will threaten your life if exposed? Sounds just like you being chased by government for keeping illegal stuff in your hard drive. Or maybe is just someone you love so much like your wife. Just kidding for making it sounds so serious. Let’s get to the how to wipe out everything in your hard drive for good as stated in the title of this post.
Here, I assume you know how to use the delete function. So does delete really delete the data which you intended to delete. MMMMM…… But did you know you can still undo it by using UNDELETE function. What! You can undelete which recovers the data you been trying to delete. So this delete function won’t serve your purpose.
So what’s next?
How about formating the hard drive to wipe out everything in it? Sounds good to me. But format function just prepares your hard drive ready for use. So format still not the best way. Now what we have to do to really wipe out everything in the hard drive. Maybe some software which will do the job you are looking for. As the matter of it, there are software which are developed for this only purpose. But here I will only list the free software which I believe will just do the job as good as the paid one.
The first one is Darik’s Boot and Nuke (”DBAN”), a self-contained boot disk that securely wipes the hard disks of most computers. You can read more about it at here
The second on list is Active@ KillDisk - Hard Drive Eraser which is a hard drive and partition eraser utility. More about it can be found here
Next is Eraser, an advanced security tool (for Windows), which allows you to completely remove sensitive data from your hard drive by overwriting it several times with carefully selected patterns. Read more about it at here
So there you have it in your hand the knowledge to really wipe out everything in your hard drive now. Use it and keep yourself safe which also make sure your privacy is secure in case you wanna sell off your old hard drive for some extra cash if that is the case. I hope you find this post useful. Thanks.

I am an avid user of Firefox browser just in case you don’t know. It had been my favorite browser ever since it came out. Lately, it had been acting up on me. Whenever i startup Firefox browser, it takes around 30s. Then whenever there is a need for a new window it did the same thing. So, I did what most savvy windows user would do, activate the Task Manager and to my astonishment the CPU usage bar was high.
It time to do some search on Google search engine to solve before I go crazy with this high load stuff. After much research, I found out that add-on’s that doesn’t compliance with Firefox will induce high load. And I found out that Firebug add-on might be the main culprit on this issue. So I try to uninstall it which seem impossible and gives me error message. So I close Mozilla browser and start it in safe mode to disable all add-ons. It seems to solve the high load after I restart Mozilla browser. Cheers.
Hope this will help those having the same issue I experienced.
