    HDD wipe

    Evening,

    We are Kyocera & Konica Minolta dealers and have won an account where we need to wipe the memory and hhd on 3 old(ish) Canons. The models concerned are:
    5240i
    5235
    5030

    We know nothing about Canons. If someone could PM me the instructions i'd appreciate it.

    Thanks...
    The gene pool could use a little chlorine.

    The 52 series have DOD wipeout.

    This is located under initialize all data/ settings then choose DOD.

    If you want to be sure you have wipped ALL data from the HDD, remove the drive from the copier, fit it in a HDD caddy then format the drive in Windows.

    Not 100% true, you can undelete/unwipe any disk if you do a plain format... create a Wipe CD with G-Disk (How to perform a hard disk wipe using the Ghost utility called GDisk)
    and you'll be 90% sure. For 100% sure use a certified wipetool (costs $) like 'Youwipe'...

    Wipetools erase data by overwriting it several times with 1's and 0's
