I do that now, and shutdown takes forever since I have 8GB of page...
Oh, did you know during the XP install process, it only does a quick LBA wipe + DiskCheck when you choose 'regular' format right before the OS installs... and not a 1-pass wipe, which is dumb. I think Vista & Win7 both do a proper 1-pass wipe.

Oh... was there an option under XP GroupPolicies to restrict that!
