How to completely erase your hard drives, SSDs and USB drives? Today we will look at resetting 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 to reset your hard drive. The standard format command does not securely erase the drive and data may be recovered from that drive.
Using the command format d: /fs:NTFS /p:2, overwrite the drive with zeros, do two overwrites on that drive, and give it an NTFS file system.
Edit the order as needed
Zero your hard drive with Diskpart
1. Type /"disk part/"
2. Type “list disk” and press “Enter”.
3. select disk 2 (or whatever disk number you want to select)
Disk 2 is now the selected disk.
4. type: /"clean everything/"
These formats are not the most secure erases you can perform on a hard drive. For a more secure erase, use something like DoD 5220.22-M, but if you want to erase a hard drive without software, use one of the methods above.
