  • DISK MEDIA SECURITY SYSTEM AND METHOD
    Publication number: 20110268265
    Abstract: A system and method for secure writing to a disk are disclosed for securely writing live data to the disk. A free space of the disk after the live data is written to the disk is determined. Random bits are generated for the free space. At least some of the random bits are written to the disk to fill the free space in a first part of a write process. The live data is written to the disk in a second part of the write process adapted to begin at a terminus of the free space on the disk and continue until all of the live data is written to the disk.
