Keith, I know you mentioned that you'll be trying the some other solutions but in case you're interested in giving the Ultimate Boot CD a whirl, I've included a link to it later in this email. As you have evidently found, this CD is quite often difficult to find download locations for though for what reason this is so difficult I'm not sure. Currently you should be able to download the version 3 cd here: http://mrtg.planetmirror.com/pub/ubcd/3.0/ubcd30-basic.iso Regards, Josh On Tue, 9 Nov 2004 21:54:49 -0000, Keith Bucknall <keith.bucknall () zen co uk> wrote:
Josh I don't suppose you have the ISO as I have heard about this before but can not get the ISO from anywhere Thanks Keith -----Original Message----- From: Josh Nerius [mailto:jnerius () gmail com] Sent: 09 November 2004 01:29 To: keith.bucknall () zen co uk Subject: Re: Simple but effective Disk Wipe Software I personally have found the "Ultimate Boot CD" found at http://ubcd.sourceforge.net/ to be quite useful. It has several such "low level" formatting utilities if I remember correctly.

Well at my last place of work we used Paragon Disk Wiper Pro which statesitwipes 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. Iamwondering 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-- Math problems?
