hi,

reinstalling ipso will overwrite some of the data of the harddrive - but in fact most sectors will still have the old data on it. so it's not easy but if you play a little bit with this harddisk you will be able to recontruct some of the data that was on the box.

if you "whipe" the disk all sectors are overwritten several times and it's impossible to even read the data from the sectors ...

so that's the difference ...

cheers

I am curious, wouldn't a resinstall of IPSO from bootmanager accomplish the same thing? What happened if you have an IP650 and the HD is a laptop drive. How are
  we suppose to wipe the disk?  with another laptop?

  Hi Matthias,
dismantle the hard disks from the nokia. Mount it as an secondary device on a existent windows machine. Install on the windows machine the erase program like East-Tec Eraser 2006 (ore other) and delete all files * for ever, secure and finally

Hi List,

due to our internal it security guideline we have the need to erase the contents of all hard disks on our firewall boxes in case we take them out of production.

We use nokia platforms running IPSO.

Does anybody have an idea how this can be done?

Best regards
Matthias Hoppe
