I dont know the exact dd command but if you search the archives of this list it was on here a few weeks ago. On Mon, 8 Nov 2004 22:26:09 -0000, Keith Bucknall <keith.bucknall () zen co uk> wrote:
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
