I formatted it. I am now running a drive wiper with the program CCleaner. It gave 4 options. Simple wipe with one sweep, Advanced with three sweeps, Complex with seven sweeps, and Very Complex with 35 sweeps. I chose the one with three sweeps. I figured that would be good enough. Will take about six hours to do, too. Has about 5 hours and 20 minutes left in the estimated time left message.
