Destroy your data! 'I just bought your hard drive'

Destroy your data! - thisblogblo.ws
Most of the time you want to avoid destroying your data. But eventually you will actually want to destroy it. For instance, if you were selling your hard drive, complete PC or Laptop on such a service as Craigslist or eBay; you would want to make sure that person doesn't have access to your files, email or personal info. Even if you fdisk your drive and format it, that's not enough.
