anybody know of a software that can delete files in my hard disk until it is unretrieveable?

i'm not looking for those that just wipe one file by one file, but a utility that wipes the whole hard disk in a fast & efficient way

thx

if you delete your partition, and format it should be enough , but if you are doing kiddie porn crap and the fbi is after u , i suggest your best bet is to burn the whole hd , believe me i work in the industry, and there is not much you can do if real detection is use to recover any hd info, even at defence standard over write , you can still get enough off a hd to incriminate anyone, so beware

Try using Restoration (http://www.snapfiles.com/get/restoration.html) in Windows PE (http://www.nu2.nu/pebuilder/). That should work. (Unless you have equipment that can read magnetic ghost of data). :D
