Autoclave is easy to use. http://staff.washington.edu/jdlarios/autoclave/
Darik's Boot and Nuke will do SCSI disk and multiples at a time. There is also a
Bootable CD image for those without floppy drives. http://dban.sourceforge.net/
Here are links to other free ones but I have not used any of them.

Subject: Re: [PCSOFT] Erasing hard drive


I believe someone supplied a link to a free program that would erase
ones hard drive.  AKA writing zeros to the hard drive.   (To be done
before reinstalling an operating system, especially if one feels there are
errors on the hard drive.)  I thought I had saved the link, but I sure can't
find it now.  Does anyone know of a good program for this? Carol Hanson
