Here's the download link for SeaTools to test your HDD with. I'd recommend using the one for DOS.

I tested the HDD with the SeaTool. It PASSED. No problem. I also used the tool to Max the size, of which I guess it is reformating.

Yet, I still failed to re-image the system as it couldn't find the drive. sigh

cmlow,

I'm not sure why it's not finding the HDD. You might create a new thread on this issue to see if we may be able to give more specific help on it since it's not related to this tutorial.

Boot from a Windows install disk and hit Shift and F10 keys when you come to the screen where you are asked to choose a language. That will drop you into a command prompt, from which you can run Diskpart.

Does Diskpart DoD wipe the MBR?

Can someone please confirm whether Diskpart will indeed wipe a drive's Master Boot Record and ALL partitions, including hidden ones (created by a trojan)? I've heard mixed things.

I need to do a full-format and DoD wipe of an infected internal SATA HD. It's only a few months old.

A friend suggested DBAN... I downloaded it and created a bootable ISO. However, after starting it up, it's looking for USB drives, and it doesn't recognize my internal HD ("missing a driver"?). Also, based on this video, it appears that DBAN might not be able to get rid of and wipe an "OEM" partition: Using Darik's Boot and Nuke (DBAN) to totally wipe a drive (Hacking Illustrated Series InfoSec Tutorial Videos)

Can someone recommend a bootable HD wiper which would be sure to delete/zero out EVERYTHING, including the MBR? Should I try Ubuntu in Linux? Thanks.
