Q. I have two hard drives setting on my desk that I want to erase so that I can use one of them for storage.
I want the software to erase them using my own desktop (a Pentium 4) What do I need to get it done cheap at home? What has to stay on the hard drive so that it is usable but clean? Thanks Dave/
any free downloadable software?

A. Well, normally just erasing the partition that had the old files on it will work. If you are worried about passing it along to someone else and don't want them snooping into the old files, then you should probably learn the dd command.
This is a good primer: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-newbie-8/learn-the-dd-command-362506/
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdx bs=8b
would write zeros onto sdx, where sdx is the harddrive you want to erase. ie. normally the second sata drive is sdb.
You can do this a couple times for ultimate paranoia, but you can read the disk through a hex editor and search for anything that hasn't been zeroed out.
When that's done the disk should be like factory new, it will need to have a partition written to it, and then you can use it.

How to configure sonic firewall to allow remote desktop?
Q. Would like to allow software support company access to internal networks. Can you configure sonic firewall to allow access using rdp?
It is a sonicwall firewall. Can I setup a network access rule to allow rdp?

A. Sonic F/W comes with technical support? You need to contact your Sonic provider as they are the only ones with the "Key". It is a great system but totally not for the home user.
If have HIPA/Privacy concerns which drive you to have the F/W then the IT folks on the other end of your VPN would be a good place to start.

A. I am assuming you have Windows.... If so, there is a built in remote control software that you can run called Remote Assistance, or you can control it with a little extra setup IF you have WinXP Pro... That's called Remote Desktop Control.
