Karl,

If you have multiple volume sets, do a

:VSCLOSE volume_set_name

Then in VOLUTIL, do a

> SCRATCHVOL ldev

*****************

If you only have one volume set....

You can go into Debug and scratch the volume headers, first 512 bytes or so

The system will then refuse to mount them on the next re-boot.

Do the Volutil think

If you want to be really sure, take ldev 1 out, put it in a windows box and do a low level format.

disk on the HP3000? A simple purge leaves too much information on the disk.

Thanks.
