    Suffering from


    Hello dear :),
    I have join this forums as i found that the discussion in the forums is very useful. This time i have something important for all the users of hard disk out there.
    Who so ever wants to sell his/her hard disk have to be careful, as you think that data which you have deleted from hard disk is not actually deleted its there in the hard disk and are recoverable. So its better to wipe disk on windows before selling.

    Use Diskpart Clean All Command to wipe the HD so that data is mostly unrecoverable.
