Coast2coast Computers believe this is one of the most important parts of our business.

TOTAL erasure of all data from the computers Hard Drive should be paramount to any corporate or home user when they have passed a system on for re-sale to any company or individual.

The process takes time because of its importance to be correct. In non-computer jargon, the aim is to rewrite the data to make it physically impossible to retrieve any information that was previously stored on the disk.

The only method used by us complies by the DEPARTMENT OF DEFENCE 5220.22-M DISK SANITISING STANDARD. The hard drive data is overwritten up to 7 times with different characters making the data impossible to retrieve. You cannot make it more secure than this!

We are happy to demonstrate this process at our customers site if required.

The worst nightmare of any company or organisation is to find a old computer system they sold to a company for disposal 2 years previous turning up at a boot fair with all data still intact.

Any defective drive that is unable to be wiped, we can then arrange for the drive(s) to be destroyed and provide you with certification of its destruction.
