Oh, Damn. My time machine is in the shop.

I suppose the trick is to do a data security erase, format the drive
and reload the firmware. I am surprised this is not simply a function
in the setup of the copier. Hard drives are the most likely failure
point in anything that uses one. There has to be a fairly simple
procedure to replace them. The problem might be in getting the
firmware image without buying a drive from the manufacturer.

Why does any copy machine keep images of pages it is done printing? And
why thousands of pages? IMHO malfeasance.

Why does one manufacturer charge $500 for a 'feature' that erases the
hard disk image after the copy is made? Seems grossly excessive.


The news article said there was a downloadable program for looking at
hard disks. Anyone know what it is? One of the Norton Utilities used to
do that - long gone I believe.
