Howes]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,6105225 Tue, 25 Feb 2003 08:14:36 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,6105205 dave : DoD wipe sounds a bit like overkill, though maybe I misunderstand the circumstances. If you simply write zeroes to the entire drive, the drive is then zeroed, except for attacks using specialized equipment.

You can get a utility to write zeroes to the entire drive from the disk vendors (they seem to be vendor-specific, though I don't know why).

Markus will now tell us why the disk ought to be physically shredded :-)]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,6105205 Tue, 25 Feb 2003 08:10:09 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,6105185 trparky : I need a utility that can be used upon a boot of a computer to totally wipe its hard disks.

It must be able to fit onto a floppy disk and be able to do a DoD-style wipe of a drive.

Reason: A friend of my father's is retiring from the Post Office and he wants to rid his computer of all personal information.
