In the military we are required to use factory fresh media for secure tansfers. This would reduce the chance of an accidental virus outbreak or other related problems. However, our policy states that the media should be factory fresh and empty. If anyone here has ever took a look at a brand new Iomega Zip/Jaz product, you will see there is a small .exe file on each. Is there a product that would clean this file off the disk and still maintain and exact replica of the original format. I do not believe a full format provides the same format track as the factory. The only information I received from the Admin Crew was to research it. I am assuming I would need 2 Zip/Jaz, a product to do an exact replica format as the factory, and a hex editor to review. How would you suggest going about this? or what product would perform this task?
