Greetings All,
 
 When files have zeros written over them, is the "zeroed" space seen  as 
usable or as an existing file of zeros?
 
 I've been using "BiteByBite" but never remember to check disc space  before 
running it to see if it's freed up after.
 
 Does the act of formatting a drive write zeros once through as  opposed to 
over-writing several times as with "BiteByBite" type  software? 
 
 Thanks to the collective!
 -Phil Williams-
