once again thanks a TON folks...you always solve a problem...well for me at least

Well, not really, if the same space on the drive hasn't been overwritten, then it's possible that any previous data can be retrieved using a recovery tool such as R-Studio. If you are worried about the previous contents, then using something like kill disk, which I believe fills the drive with 0 binary bits / zero's, and effectively overwriting every byte of information that was on the disk... just some more food for thought.

Madmonkey, if you want to get technical, it is possible to retrieve data that has been written over. But, if I told you how, I'd have to kill you...

lol Gandalf, please tell me and I promise not to tell the fatefull eye where Frodo is! Or for that matter, that you secretly died your hair white, because you were fed up with having grey hair!

No see, I already know. A TIME MACHINE! Travel back in time and steal the disk before kill disk was used in the first place.

Nice try, but us Wizards never tell our secrets.
