I'm looking for a tool that I can burn to disk, put in my laptop, boot from it, and COMPLETELY wipe my hard drive. Does anyone know of such a program.
I suggest [url=http://www.dban.org/]DBAN[/url].
I've tried that but when It will not boot for some reason. Linux and its grub errors stop it booting. Although it may be because im booting from a USB disk drive.
Are there any alternate similar programs.
[QUOTE=Justice;26996518]I don't see why GParted wouldn't do the trick. It's obviously going to be slower than something like DBAN, but nevertheless, it would do what you need to do.[/QUOTE]
Any partition tools could be used to get rid of all partitions, but the data will still be there. When done correctly it could be retrieved afterwards.
