What is the best way to wash a disk?
I tried this but it is taking forever.
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdg1

In years past I successfully used mdsos 3.1 or 5.6 to clean hard drives, just changed the partitioning information for each install and rebooted pc before installation completed, then installed Linux of choice. Linux re partitioning then seemed to remove any chance of finding coherent data even from the hidden Microsoft filesystem on the inside tracks of the hard drive. Roger
