How to wipe a Black2?

Hi SkyyLander. Did you try using the Data Lifeguard Diagnostic software? The software will do a write zeros which will wipe out all data and it also resets the drive back to factory defaults so the HDD will be ‘locked’. If you just want to erase the partitions that are currently on the drive, you should be able to do this through Disk Management in Windows and format the partitions.
