Re: Simple but effective Disk Wipe Software

You could try this :

It's a bootable floppy image that sterilizes IDE hard disks on x86
machines.......
Never actually used it myself, but it sounds ok.

Dear All,

I know a few weeks ago we had a post on someone putting a post up about
returning a Hard Disk to Dell.

Well at my last place of work we used Paragon Disk Wiper Pro which states
it
wipes Hard Disks to DoD standard.  I am looking for a simple but effective
Boot type of wiping software for our old stock of PC's that we have just
upgraded.

My Director does not want to spend any money as he feel's a standard
"format" will suffice; therefore I guess a Linux solution is the best.  I
am
wondering what people would recommend, we do not have High Classified
documents put I would like something a little more than a standard format.

Kind Regards

Keith Bucknall
