I have a 500gb seagate and dumped lots of dat on it but now i have sorted the data on another 1tb.
Is it necessary to do a Low level formatting on 500gb before using it? It has no bad sectors and all chkdisk n hdd sentinal reports are absolutely fine.
Or should i simply delete the partitions and create new ones.
But i would like to wipe the whole disk so that data cannot be recovered later using Hard Disk Wipe Tool.
Need your inputs.
