Actually, no, that doesn't work...what he wants is a uutility that
overwrites the file several times. A reformatted drive can be recovered.

You could always fdisk the drive, then repartition it, then reformat it.
THAT would work ;-)

A quick perusal of www.winsite.com, the Info-Mac of windows archives ;-)
revealed two programs that would do this:

Eraser21.zip
eteraser.zip

The first is freeware, check 'em out.
