Hi, I'm having no luck finding hits for "wipe drive" or "zero drive" in the mail list archives and I can't believe I'm the first to ask this question but here it is anyway. How can I simply write 0's across a USB thumb drive? I'd rather not install a port, if I can avoid it. I was thinking that something like dd would work, but everything I've tried thus far is not working. What suggestions does everyone have? Andy -- A: Because it messes up the order in which people normally read text. Q: Why is it such a bad thing? A: Top-posting. Q: What is the most annoying thing on usenet and in e-mail?
