How to wipe a broken disk? I tried COPYWIPE from ultimatebootdisk as my
preferred solution, but it takes ages or hangs.
I guess that any kind of wiping program won't wipe the bad blocks.
Also keep in mind that disks have backup tracks to be more fail safe.
I would strongly recommend to apply high temperature to these disks
if you want to be _sure_ that no data can be recovered. Any kind of
mechanical destruction doesn't wipe the magentical information.
Thus, it's theoretical possible to recover information.
High temperatures that reach the curie point of your disks definetly
wipe all magentic information. So, using a welding device is the
right thing :-)
