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 justupgraded. 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 amwondering what people would recommend, we do not have High Classifieddocuments put I would like something a little more than a standard format.Kind Regards Keith Bucknall
