when I move a post, I have a choice of leaving a link in the old forum. It just moves down the line as people post other messages.

I can also move the post without leaving a link, but I don't like doing that.

yes, forgot about the /s switch. very useful

when formatting a drive, all your doing is removing the pointers from the partition. Your info is still readable with special software.
If you have sensitive info you may want to to a military format. Where someone can not retrieve any info from the computer once you sell it.

This replaces each block with a character that permanently removing any info thus making it useless to try and recover any data on the drive.

PM me for a link or I might have a free ware program lying around.
