I thought there was a Norton Utilities program that had the capability to
write zeros on all the unused space on the hard drive. I looked at all the
menu options in Norton DiskEdit and Disk Doctor and I don't see any such
capability.
Can someone tell me do you know if Norton has it anywhere? Or what utility
can do it ?

Eraser
heidi.ie
Eraser is better than most, as it also overwrites cluster tip areas, file
name and alternat[iv]e data streams. Set it to 3 passes for speed, 7 for
security or 35 for paranoia (and go on holiday while you wait).
Don't defrag before using Eraser.
