I use the free version of PGP on my home PC that does not have
PGPDisk included, but it does let you wipe files as well as sign and
encrypt them.

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.
