Hi Patrick,

in fact i can delete everything on this HDD as i formatted it...backup was done before :)
i just found also something similar.
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda bs=446 count=1
where /dev/sda should be replaced by my HDD value.

Make sure you don't delete data you do not want to lose. You do have a backup of your important data right?

Regards,
Patrick
