I am on the hunt for some erase software. I am installing my second hard-drive in a couple weeks and it come out of my old computer. What is the best FREE software to erase complete hard-drive. I want it totally clean. Please help.

I have previously used two such free utilities,

1. Disk Redactor is WIPE utility, that prevent restoration of the old ( deleted ) files at your disks. All free space at your hard disk will be wiped from an old information.

2. Restoration it restores deleted files as well as has another function that makes it almost impossible to restore all deleted files.

Maybe I missed it but Sami, I want to delete everything off the drive. Including the OS. Is this possible using this program?

I think Disk Redactor should beable to that, you can also try Active@ KillDisk - Hard Drive Eraser

Hello dxvii,
Well, I use a program called darik's boot and nuke (dban) that is available over here. So basically what it does is zero erases the drive... (i.e. turns all the binary codes to zero... you know what I mean...) so yeah it should be able to get rid of everything on your hard drive.
