I have a couple of HD's which have packed up. BIOS no longer detects them and there's no way I can get into the HDs' contents. They are still under manufacturer's warranty, so I'm gonna send them back for replacements. However, there is highly confidential data in them which I don't want the manufacturer to access, in case they try to get the drive working again, recycle parts or refurbish the drive for resale, etc.
How can I erase the entire contents of the HD's, before I return them to the manufacturer? Since I have no way of viewing the contents, I have to be confident the method erases the HD's efficiently.
Thanks
