Hey, this is my first time posting on these forums and hopefully will more often :]
I heard of a utility called Gdisk. A more advanced version of Fdisk that you can get from Norton Ghost. I have Norton Ghost 9.0.
I want to use Gdisk to wipe my hard-drive. I was told that it overwrites all of the files and eliminates Disk slack or where ever there is a deleted file and overwrites it. Im doing this as a project for Computer Forensics and testing if I am able to go back and see files I deleted after using Gdisk. Since when you delete a file It doesnt get deleted off the hard drive but rather deletes the path way to it so the OS cannot see it. It doesn't go away until it is overwritten. To my understanding GDisk Writes a bunch of 0's across the whole Hard drive to overwrite everything after formating it.
First off Im not sure where the Gdisk.exe is in Norton Ghost. Another thing is I geuss Im suppose to make a boot up disk with Gdisk.exe and im not sure of how to do that as well.
If someone could help me with this is would great Thank you :]
Im running XP pro 120 GB hard drive NTFS 3.2 intel pentium 4 processor, 1G of memory.
