How to completely erase your hard drives, SSDs and thumb drives? Today we will take a look at zeroing a hard drive using the Format command in command prompt. This secure erase method is free and easy to use. I will show you two ways on how to zero out your hard drive. The standard format command does not secure erase the drive and data can be recovered from that drive.

Using the command format d: /fs:NTFS /p:2 with overwrite the drive with zeros and do two overwrites on that drive and give it a NTFS file system.

Change the command to your needs

Zeroing out your hard drive with Diskpart

1. Type "diskpart"

2. Type “list disk” and hit “enter”.

3. select disk 2 (or what ever your disk number is that you want to select)

Disk 2 is now the selected disk.

4. type: "clean all"

These formats are not the most secure wipes you can do on a hard drive, for a more secure erase use something like DoD 5220.22-M but if you want to wipe a hard drive without software, then use one of the methods above.
