Eraser looks neat, but I'm wanting to wipe systems drives and it would be a PITA to remove them all to slave them to my machine to wipe. That's how eraser appears to work from what I read. Wanting to find some sort of USB or ISO for a CD/DVD that I can boot into and wipe the drives.

Many HD manufacturers have test/wipe utilities but if you have multiple brands of disk that'd be a PITA as those utilities usually only work with their drives.

Some of these utilities require a MS-DOS boot floppy although I have seen CD/DVD bootable versions.
