Need help on erasing hard drive
Hello all. My computer has been having a lot of problems lately and I was thinking about using DBAN to start over again. I've used DBAN a lot of times, but for one pass takes about 5-6 hours. I was wondering if any of you have any suggestions on something other than DBAN. I know DBAN may not be the problem for it being slow, but I would just like to know if you think there are any better programs than DBAN. How many passes would you recommend me doing? I am not planning on selling it or doing anything with it, I just don't want files leftover. Thanks!
