Hello.

What's the best way to fully erase external working USB HDDs? I don't think old

Mac OS, and Windows to reuse the external USB HDD (not broken/dead yet)?

Boot from a Live Linux CD and

/dev/hda would have to be replaced with whatever Linux recognizes the
drive as.

Thanks. I didn't know dd was good enough to do that like dban. I will
try that.
