If you want to kill off all the data in the concerned hard drive, use a tool like Killdisk.

cool. I will look for that. i also found this batch file to remove annoying permissions http://pure-evil020.webs.com/give%20back%20permissions.bat the url sounds alarming but that seems to work for me the laptops i have now are thinkpads. they are ok but when i got rid of the old one i took the drive out and want to use that for backups and get the stuff from it. i need that app to delete the old vista install directory. i also found god mode was quite useful. never heard of that before but god is the status i want on my own PC. lol thanks _________________ www.answeraspergers.com - WIP Volume 1: Diagnosis or suspicion https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0060ZFQF8

Pity you're in the UK, some shops here are selling previous-gen models at half-price. Keep an eye on the Apple UK "refurb store" - it's the same machines only repaired problem units. They look 100% new, same warranty only ~25% cheaper! The mac mini is a dandy unit and crazy fast so long as you're not playing lots of fancy 3D games. _________________ [Threepwood:] ...that a sequel can never truly be as good as the original?
