    Hi,

    I have the chance to aquire (for free) a nicely equiped D320 with quite some
    storage from one of our customers. The customer is a credit card company and
    the only reqirement from the customer is to reliably delete all data from
    the data disks (OS is separate and contains no relevant data).

    How can I delete the data so it cannot be reconstructed in any way
    whatsoever? dd zeroes all over? Format?

    I guess this isn't even HPUX specific, but since this is a HP machine ..

    Thanks,

    /Gerold
