SO... LOL Life. Blogging

What, are you kidding? If you want your hard drive clean, a microwave is one of the last places you should put it! Do you know how filthy those things are?

 

Soooo there's no way to wipe this hard drive clean? :confused:

 

Plug it in as your secondary hard drive, go to my computer, right click on it and click format, ???, profit.

 

I stick with deleting everything, it works good enough.

 

when you delete files, there still there. the data sectors are marked as not in use, and when the space is needed, its overwritten. same with a format. the only way to clean a HDD is to use a program that overwrites gibberish onto the data. theres something the RCMP uses, has a 3 letter name, it spams the HDD with its name.

 

Overwriting works just fine!

 

overwriting, yes, deleting, no. Windows doesn't actually ever delete any data. it adds it to a overwrite que which is used when more space is needed.

basically, when you first delete, the file location is changed to recycle bin. when you delete from there, the file is added to the 'data that the user doesn't want anymore' que, where it remains until overwritten by something installed, or a file created. you need special software to truly delete from a HDD.

 

Yep. Download a program which can be placed on a memorystick and it boots from there and then you can make it write zeros to your harddrive. That's the way to totally delete files from your hard drive. (Writing zeros to a 200Gb harddrive takes maybe a day or two.)

 

lets see. 200gb = 200,000mb = 200,000,000kb = 200,000,000,000b, = 200,000,000,000,000 bits. I think. either way, thats more zeros than you could count.

 

It's not going to hurt anything if he simply deletes it.

 

Okay. Simpler and faster way to clean up your hard drive.

Take very strong magnet (or do an electric magnet) and then move it all around the hard drive for a good while and you have just lost all your data on the hard drive. Now it is ready to be reformated and then to use.

 

After a couple of trail & errors, I go the hard drive to work & mananged to delete the faulty install Thanks to everyone who helped me! :D

 

so this one time right, I was doing it with the 2 hot twins right, they were all naked and stuff, like without pants and everything, so we're in the middle of it, or better yet, im in the middle of it right, and they're like moaning, and im like chuckling, and they moan some more, i chuckle some more, do some of my starcraft ghost impersonations, they scream my name and stuff, so I show em some of my uber micro right, then suddenly 2 med tanks with full reflective armor march up to my base and im like O SHIT MAN THE BLIMBS

 

Lawrence, what would you do if you had a million dollars?

 

I'd put 800,000 on the bank and go nuts with the rest.

 

No, the correct answer is: "Two chicks at the same time."

 

i was fucking this bitch about a month ago and for some reason i kept hearing in my head "TAKE COVER!!!"

good thing i didnt say it out loud... hahaha

damn you megel and your funny russian sounding voice!

 

I was riding along in the car today, and I looked out the window and I see this big brown bear on the side of the road. We passed it and it just gets up and crosses the road behind us. :D

 

This one time I captured a black bear and stuck a nose ring on him attached to a long chain. I sold him to a Turkish bloke for five gil so I could buy a Longsword of disintegration.

Later that day I killed the same Turkish bloke and got my fiver and the dancing bear back!

 

So that's why I keep on messing things up. Now I'll just have to find a place that still sells StarCraft...
