I have heard about high level formatting on the hard drive where it erases all information from the HDD. When this is done even the data recovery software that will allow you to recover data on a formatted HDD cannot pick up any data on the HDD. I was wondering if there is a high-level format tool like that? and if there is what is that tools name? I have searched on google and yahoo for it, but i still have yet to find what i am really looking for.
