Thanks I am sure that you will receive several suggestion on how to achieve your goal. You might want to visit http://www.freedos.org/ and download a copy of FreeDos. Install it on a floppy disk and use it to nuke your HD. You can even repartition it, format it, etc. It works well as a simple utility program. The documentation sort of sucks; however, it really isn't that difficult to figure out. --=20 Gerard gerard@seibercom.net Shaw's Principle: Build a system that even a fool can use, and only a fool will want to use it. --Sig_/9DymRbj2yjY+MrGuR18gJ=K Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=signature.asc -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.8 (FreeBSD) iEYEARECAAYFAkekckQACgkQ6DWTaTcTwMlVUwCg8CDRjdc6Qcun8YltwS22TOnY pDcAoO0olVnL/9ESCllODDx3cw+SJZhx =W2yM -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --Sig_/9DymRbj2yjY+MrGuR18gJ=K--
