Hi All,
Got a question about installing a HDD taken from another computer. The hard drive is a WD3200AAKS/Western Digital.
This drive is in good shape, but it does have a previous install of XP on it. I found this utility at the Western Digital web page. Diag504fCD/ISO Image. It claims to write zeros the disk.
Has anybody ever tried this? Is this the correct route to go for a clean format? I've never done this before so I am just not sure of any kind of method to be followed.
Any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks, Dv
