Wiping disk

Dave

I have Norton 2003 but it does not support wiping free space in XP or 2000 -
strange since it is available for previous versions of Win.

Anyone know of a utility that will wipe free space on XP?

Thanks

Hi Dave,

Why would you want to wipe free space? Just leave it, any data on it will be
overwritten when the system writes new data, it won't care if the free space
is wiped or has old file marked for deletion.
