   Great product, it sure does a great lobotomy dissection to completely empty out a hard drive. However that is if you don't mind waiting and waiting. A one TB drive took 12 hrs 43 minuter to do it's thing. There must be something out there like the old Debug 'F 200 L1000 0' that can handle 64 bits.
   Ideas anybody??

   I have used this when I changed out drives. Excellent program and nothing beats it except a sledge hammer. Gawd21, burn it on a CD for crap's sake.

   gawd: Although the description said bootable floppy, DBAN can also be boot from CD or USB key. It is so small that it could be contained in a simple bootable floppy.
   
   This program is a god send. No secure delete software can rival with this free tool to wipe the content of a hard disk.

   Ummmmm, yeah, a great thing to have had about 9-10 years ago.
   
   No one uses a floppy drive anymore.
   
   EDIT: On second thought, great idea, and blessing. However, the description needs updated!

   If you need to wipe your drive, the is HANDS DOWN the most effective solution available.
   
   No wonder the US Department of Energy Nuclear division uses it on its own hard drives.
   
   For wiping "free unused space" use Eraser.
