New hard drive broke down within a week of buying. I want to return it but I can't wipe it and it's full of my unencrypted personal data.
I'm using Windows 8.1 but it's not recognised on my Mac either.
Nothing recognises it. It powers on and I can feel the disks spinning.
Any ideas on how to wipe it so I can be 100% sure it's all gone? Will I need to resport to running a magnet over it, or will that not be guaranteed to wipe the data?
