    I was trying to perform a dual boot. I was on the ubuntu disk manager and i was trying to figure out where I had installed pear OS previously. then i accidentally clicked on the new partition table button and it cleared up the drive. realizing the mistake I've done, i cancelled the installation and booted windows my computer has both an SSD and a hard drive. the hard drive is the one got corrupted, and the SSD is the system drive.*this photo is for demonstration purposes only.when I check the drive, in windows in disk manager I get this:i tried reactivating and windows gave me this prompt:

    How to wipe a hard drive

    Thanks guys

    My Special thanks goes out to all those involved with posting a reply on this thread.


    I have been helped tremendously by a few who suggested I take out the hard drive and clean it up on another system.


    That is something I had not tried yet. I have another system readily available and it makes a lot of sense.


    I do have a few questions though: After I take out the hard drive and connect it to a new system,


    Will I be able to run something more advanced than the built in OS drive manager to more completely wipe the drive (i.e. kill disk)?


    What I am asking is: Can I run "kill disk" on the old hard drive from the other computer instead of the Windows program that does the same thing?


    I am going to try to disconnect the hard drive today, but I don't know if running the kill disk program from the other computer would be the most efficient and complete way to clean the drive.


    Is that something that I would even want to do, Peet? Would that work? What do you think, cheese?


    Does kill disk cost money? Do I get the free download off that site you gave me, 2wicked?
