    di 351f hdd question

    customer wants to get rid of the machine. but need to clean the hdd. is that option available for this? accounting machine that he feels he needs to erase important data.
    even though I think konica minolta has it figured out that once the hdd is removed from a machine it can not be hooked back up and the hdd accessed? could someone smarter then me on this please explain it a little better? thanks you guys

          The only reason that you would need to wipe the hdd is if the customer was storing anything in the user box. But I've never seen that model with an hdd.

                  If you aren't reusing the HDD a hammers is great at rendering them unreadable.
                  Just a thought.

                      Sell them a new drive, then charge them to put that drive into the copier and give them the old drive. You make money and problem solved.
                      Color is not 4 times harder... it's 65,000 times harder. They call it "TECH MODE" for a reason. I have manual's and firmware for ya, course... you are going to have to earn it.

                          Here is one more ides, de-gauss the HDD, radio stations for years used it to clean magnetic tape, its called bulk tape eraser, radio shack used to sell them, not sure if still do, but I bet a google search would find it, as long as the HDD is used to store jobs and no O/S for the machine, should work just fine, bulk erase it, and reformat it in the machine, no more data on that HDD.
