Looking for hardisk format software

(1/7) > >>

Meomix:
I'm looking for software that will format the hardrive, i want to upgrade from win xp to win 7.

Pentium100:
Windows setup can do that. You can also use MHDD to zero-fill the drive (this will make the drive look like new - no data at all).

Lupin:
Hard drive vendors have disk utilities that can format drives.

Mirgond:
Or you just use the newest Ubuntu Live CD and use GParted to format the drive like you want ;) (Multiple Partitions etc.)

arknorth:
Seagate offers a freebie that not only can wipe and clean your drive no matter who made it, it can also image-copy it.  This allows you to bring data back once you've completed the upgrade.  It also allows you to return to the XP setup, just in case your W7 install delivers an unexpected result (IE: Crash and Burn).

The program is called Seagate DiskWizard (just type diskwizard into the search on Seagate's home page).
