Hi,

I realized a few years ago that doing a reformat with the manufacturer's restore CD's did not wipe my drive completely," due to immortal Norton registry keys".

I have been using ,"kill disc", now prior to reformatting, it works well, but the free edition only does 1 pass per application.

I just downloaded HDD's low level format tool, but after visting HDD's site, I'm not sure which is better for me,"To wipe a disc clean, and still be able to re-install thru my recovery disc or my XP OS CD, nor am I sure exactly what the differnce between the 3 I'm looking at:

HDD's Low Level Format tool
" Wipe tool
" Capacity Restore tool

Please Enlighten,

Also, does HDD have a scan tool, that does the same thing as windows "Error disc check", utility except better?

Thanks,
