Wipe out disk

[Daniel Royer]

I need to wipe out the hard disks of several PC's running on XP sp2. Is
there a way to do it from within XP? Since I seriously doubt it, I
wonder if there is a way to download a Dos boot disk containing fdisk to
do the job. Where?

You have to do it outside the S if that disk being used by the OS.

You can use the GDisk.exe or GDisk32.exe utilities provided by Norton Utilities and Norton
Ghost.

 

[Squire]

Don't forget, you can delete all the partitions by booting with your XPCD
all the tools are there.

"Dban" - secure delete from floppy. Freeware.

www.cbltech.ca has 3 freeware versions available, floppy disc, cd iso
or win xp.
