Deleting Data from the Hard Disk

About Deleting Data from the Hard Disk

Data can be deleted from the computer's hard disk. Data written to the hard disk can be removed using the [Recycle Bin] or by forma tting the computer to the original state. Selecting this menu will remove hard disk data that cannot be remov ed by hard disk formatting of operation system standard, and the removed dat a will not be easily recov ered with recovery tools. Forma t the hard disk before trans ferring or disposing of the comput er.

Before de leting the hard disk data, return th e BIOS Se tup Utilit y s etting to the factory setting values.

Data can be deleted from the computer in the following 3 wa ys.

• Simple mode (1 time erasure)

Overwrites "00" data entirely from the hard disk.

• NSA-introduced mode (3 time erasure)

Deletes data from the hard disk in a method compliant to the U.S. Depar tment of Defense NSA Standard. The data is deleted effectively by writing r andom data 1, then random dat a 2, then "00" dat a 3 times in order and then deleting it 3 times. However, since the data is written 3 times, it takes 3 times longer than simple mode for deletion to be completed.

• DoD-introduced mode (3 time erasure + Verif y)

Deletes data from the hard disk in a method compliant to the U.S. Depar tment of Defense Standard. "00", "FF", and random data is written in order, and verifies that the final random data is written correctly. Effective deletion is performed by deleting 3 times.

By using this method it is not guaranteed that the data cannot be completely recovered.
