To Do a complete job, Get the Ontrack Erasure and write zero's to the drive, then Boot from the CD!! Why you ask, well deleting a partition and formatting with Format C: does not wipe out the Master Boot Record, when you write zero's, you have a drive exactly as it came from the manufacturer!! If its a WD Drive then you can use WD Lifeguard Diagnostics to write zero's ( A lot Faster than Ontrack)> All other manufacturers use Ontrack with there own name on it, IE Seatools for Seagate!!
