Put simply: traditional data wipe tools (many "free" ones and even some of the paid!) are unable to erase 100% of data on modern storage devices because they are unable to utilize the ATA Command set. Using outdated and unsupported (for several years now) tools is a modern day recipe for a data breach disaster. One might not realise it at first, but it is easy to jeopardise ones security simply by failing to stay up to date with the latest security memo. Ah - well that would pay for those free lunches so to speak. Besides, some "free" products are actually used as a loss-leading funnel into the same companies rather expensive pay-per use product. "Most well known" by no means demonstrates fitness for purpose. The easiest thing would be to have a DOS installation and fdisk.Ĭlick to expand.Hi, there are always those who won't see much value in something, but everyone knows there is no such thing as a free lunch. I've tried FreeDos and Parted Magic but can't get it done with autorun.
I now want to create a similar one, but then a USB stick and it is enough to erase / clear existing partitions. Then we were able to give the computer to voluntary organizations. Then everything was erased again and then created a single partition. Wrote files to full volume on both partitions. Then split the volume into two partitions. When I was working in a municipality, within healthcare, with security (information with high privacy) a few years ago, I created a DOS floppy disk that erased the entire C: volume and then wrote small files that filled the entire partition. I want to do this because I have privacy information that is only for me.
This USB stick will then, upon approval, erase everything on your computer's hard drives. I am looking for a (simple) way to create a USB stick that I can let my wife plug in and just start the computer (linuxOS) and then there will be a message (just in case a mistake happened) where the 'user' can choose to cancel.
