Delete will work but that is not really wiping just smudging.

I have decided to create a new 2GB hard disk from scratch.
bximage
then
imgmount x x:\dos.img -size 512,63,16,4093

The mounting was successful,but
I couldn't copy files into it, why was that? (Unable to format it)
Thanks
Jack

Fdisk and format. There is a guide in the guides section.

You know this thread would have gone differently if you had written you want to wipe a mounted hard drive image....
