Using Diskpart
Hello everyone.
What I would like is to do is a "secure erase" (write zeroes) to a partition of a HDD before a clean install of Windows 7. If I were to boot to a Command Prompt at Startup would the series of commands in the snip below secure erase (zero) the partition; then I could clean install Windows 7 to that same partition.
Does a full format do a secure erase to the partition? I don't really want to use a 3rd party prog. to do it if Diskpart will.
I hope y'all understand what I'm asking.
