A customer has requested us to sanitize the hard drive on a Konica Minolta bizhub C550. I have never done this before and have to make some assumptions, so if someone has done this and has the following knowledge, any help would be greatly appreciated. I would pull the HDD out of the copier and plug it into a PC to do this. I am assuming that any HDD on a copier would be formatted in FAT or FAT32 (So will Windows XP/Vista/7 recognize the HDD is plugged into the motherboard???) (Better yet, would an adapter that converts the IDE into USB work???) I am assuming that the "files" on the HDD would be of file types that Windows XP/Vista/7 would recognize also??? I have a freeware program that only allows you to select one folder or file at a time so a suggestion on something that would select the whole hard drive would be nice???
