F-Disk Hard Drive
I am going to wipe a drive with Win 2K on it and install Win XP. When I do this, I not only want to f-disk, but change the HDD back to all 0's like it is new. Anyone know which products do this?

I have f-disk before, but never changed back to 0's. Someone told me to start it when I go to bed and it SHOULD be done when I wake up.. does it really take that long?

Think of it this way. It is basically the eqivalent of writing an 80GB file to your heard drive. Every single bit has to be written. Or I guess in this case rewritten. That is a lot of data to deal with.
