12/30 What's the best way in linux to delete or wipe the Master Boot Record of a hard disk. I want to send it somewhere with nothing on it. essentially the way a HDD comes from the factory. \_ cat </dev/zero >/dev/hda (or /dev/hdb, or whatever) will wipe \_ Is there a Linux equivalent? the entire disk, including the MBR. Be careful. \_ run FDISK /MBR \_ What happens if i run "lilo -u" and I had no MBR backup? |
