I understand that formatting a hard drive does not necessarily erase all

entire hard drive... overwriting existing data with "X" and doing so
multiple times.
My question:
Where can I get such a utility? What would I google? When I did a search all
I got was commercial expensive stuff that seems overkill. Are there any free
such utilities?
Thanks.
I use BCWipe.On the web site it refers to 30-day trials of all their
software. But the version I have does everything I need and I haven't
been asked to pay for it.
