Re: hard drive scrubbing utility

Joe,

Thanks again for the dialogue.

I think we are making some progress in our discussion. Since a
virtualized disk boot system is able to write data to a hard drive at
the time of system start why couldn't the system also perform the
method that I outlined? It seems possible to me at least that it
likely could. If it could why then wouldn't the method I outlined at
the beginning of this topic possibly work?

I do agree though that a virtualized disk boot system is not what I had
intended.

I would like to start an open discussion:

I have some ideas as to a method to scrub a hard drive on the fly. Of
course my ideas are just that, ideas. My ideas are subject to change
and hopefully we are able to come up with a reasonable method reduce
the need for the sledge hammer method of data theft.

First, my understanding is that the logical block size is
2048 bytes

Second, although a data can be retrieve for ever using a
Transmission Electron Microscope (TEM) or Scanning Tunneling Microscope
(STM) ... This is what returned to after selling my IT firm...

Third, who cares! Most people look at porn, or are
attorneys, medical offices (Have you ever heard of HIPPA) If one of the
medical offices donates a computer and it ever opened a medical file
the doctor is screwed. CAN I GET AN AMEN BROTHER?

Fourth, The idea
If a file is written that is smaller than 2048 bytes then the file will
fit on one block of a hard drive.
Next write a program that when a user logs off the computers and the
computer then reboots its self and when rebooting a program is
activated. The program the writes the said file until the hard drive
has reached its capacity. When the hard drive reaches its maximum
capacity it then sweeps itself 7 times.

What are your thoughts as to this concept? If you use this idea in the
future please reference me (Jason Spalding)
