Either delete it, or physically destroy the disk.
recycle,destroy, or burn it completely. Destroy the hard drives with a hammer.
Same as far as I know. Winchester was an OLD hard drive.
All of the "old data" that has not been overwritten can be recovered in Windows and MS-Dos. When a file is deleted in Windows / MS-Dos the first character of the file name is changed to a question mark. This releases the allocated disk space of the deleted file to the free disk space. The data itself is not touched until a program overwrites the data in that allocated space. This is not true of most other operating systems.
you need to buy a memory card and then transfer the data to the hard disk
Low-Level formatting is used to outline areas (tracks and sectors) on the hard drive so physically the hard drive is ready to be used. So low level formatting is so called "PHYSICAL Formatting" which means all of your old data are physically wiped out and create a new structure on your disk. So when you add new data, it just add into your empty disk. High level formatting is so called "LOGICAL Formatting" which means that all the old data in your disk will not be completely erased (they are still in your disk) but the access path to those data has been wiped out. So you cannot access those data anymore (e.g. access path is like your address book. when you lost the address book, you won't know where your friends stay and can't contact them (same analogy)) However, your disk will show as empty. Okay, again when you want to store new data in your disk, it will create new access path and replace old data with your newly stored data. This formatting changes the file system on the hard drive so the Operating System that you use can write and save data to the hard drive.:)
To replace your Asus K53S's internal hard disk with a Seagate 1 TB drive, first ensure you have the necessary tools, such as a screwdriver and an anti-static wrist strap. Backup any data from the old drive if possible, then carefully remove the faulty hard disk following the laptop's service manual. Install the new Seagate drive in the same bay, secure it, and then reinstall the laptop's cover. Finally, you can proceed to reinstall your operating system and restore any backed-up data.
Yes, usually an old PS3 disk should work on a new PS3 console.
Delete all data on a hard drive. Ditto!
(The following assumes that the hard disk is still in working condition.) If the hard disk is in a computer, you can connect it with another computer over a network, and copy the files over the network. You can also connect the old hard disk to your new computer (using a second hard disk cable); in this case, if you manage to make it work, you can copy the files from one disk to another. In this case, the copying itself should be much faster than copying files over a network.
Hi ! If the old disk is OK strap it as SLAVE and connect it to the same bus cable that goes to the new disk. The new disk must be strapped as MASTER. Start your PC and have a look in BIOS setup that BIOS has recognized the old disk.Exit BIOS setup, continue BOOT and copy all your favorite files. NOT OS FILES. Regards Bo
A computer stores data on a Hard Disk Drive. It spins around very fast as a read/write head burns microscopic etches onto the disc(s). Very old computers didnt have hard disk drives. They stored their information on gigantic floppy disks. They worked pretty much the same way as a hard drive except they use magnetism. A new technology is Solid sate drive, where a device stores information electronically on small flash chips.
Its an old square disc. You must be around 14 years young!
