Thanks for any advice for a safer computer security and for helping me with the issue.

Well foxyloxley The quick answer is you dont need to know why i want my HHD wiped
but needless to say i will feel much safer.

As for the S/W it has nothing to do with my current situation
is...

Oh yea the New partition i formating right now
says "Partition1 (New original) 95386MB (95385 MB free)
Am i doing it correcT?

Ok the hardisk said i had 95394 MB to partition
but when trying to partition it only allowed 95386 MB (odd)
so i removed the partition from the installation
and now when creating a new it wanted...

Thanks, Ok i will create just one Big partition
but should i substract a amount for freespace partition I see factories do this.
Say i have 95GB then i do 95GB- 204 Mb (for example)
I dont care...

Ok so i Will run the XP installation cd again
do i only create One big partition then?
i have no need of more partition except if HP need a smale one for recovery that i dont know ?

Ok after the Nuke when i Booted the pc i expected to get
"No operative system found"

But instead i got this flashing repeately:

Intel UNDI, PXE-2.0 (build 082)
Copyright (C) 1997-2000 Intel...

I was afraid of something like that
so i taken security measure and dont use wifi at all for the moment

The beep is not through the pc is a high pitch so i hear it comes from downstairs, sounds like someone pressing a phone just very fast two times
then there is 2 minuts break and it resume.
so like...

Ok the HP recovery DVD Says this
"Application and Driver Recovery DVD"
Contains software and drivers already installed for software reinstallation and repair only.

So will it work on a nuked...

Thats an good idea i will try
thing is if that would work since i nuked the drive now
i will try it out later today.

It can be anything he is creating/mounting the stuff self
Before he installed the beep-beep machine
he used this stuff (whatever it is either for stealing wifi or spying)

Back to Subject:
PC is now Dbanned and now I just need to Install Windows again

But should i create 1 or 2 partitions
i think i remember my Notebook (HP) had 2 partitions
one big for windows...

I meant that is not obligatory to have it
meaning very few have it, but yes it could be a smoke alarm
maybe he is smoking Pipe right under the smoke alarm.

But 9 out of 10 people dont have smoke...

Nop, there is no smoke alarm in this part of europe
BUT, it may be he have got a smoke alarm from Ebay then build the
warning thing into something else.

I guess that if i want to do 14 passes (but not guttmans)

"Q: Is the Gutmann method the best method?
A: No.
Most of the passes in the Gutmann wipe are designed to flip the bits in MFM/RLL encoded disks,...

Now the neighbour under is using this strange machine again
it sound like 2 fast Beep like a phone but very fast and is very high
it happened once every 2 minuts or so.
I know i can be paranoid...

:drink: :drink: hmmm yea right :p

I already though about that i will move to new adress and change phone number shortly ;)
Now i just need to Wipe the PC so i am totaly sure.

Why do you talk in spanish :confused:
About the ISP log probaly but we talking about p2p softwares

As for eraser i am more thinking if i should use Dban

If i use Dban is it best to use the Gutmann technique (37 passes) or is the DOD 5220.22-M method (7 pases) good enough?

I heard Gutmann sometimes can fail saying not enough memory whys that
will...
