| 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
|
