    Hello Leong,

    Point 1: use "dd" if using linux. If using windows, boot a linux cd
    (i.e. knoppix) and use "dd"... :-)))

    Point 2: I don't understand your question. sorry...

    Hi, guys.

    May I joined in the discussion?

    Creative : 1. what software should we use to make a copy bit & bit
    of
    data and what about if it is failing?
               2. won't these data after restoring into another drive
    fail
    to boot-up the system if the 'bad' data is a system file, etc?

    Thanks
    kenneth

    You will have to make a copy bit by bit of your hard drive, then you
    must use a software like Evidence Eliminator in order to delete your
    data from the HD that Dell will take back.

    Hi,
       I have a question about hard drive data security. The hard drive
    on
    my notebook is failing and Dell is going to replace it. They are
    going
    to take the old one with them. How can I securely remove the data
    from
    the hard drive?

    Thanks,
    Paul
