Darik’s Boot and Nuke 2.2.6

It has been some time since I last did a secure wipe on my laptop. I thought I would just blog it here for this easy to use and effective software.

1. Boot your DBAN media after downloading from http://www.dban.org/download.

2. Press F4 to read the disclaimer. A warning message appears that RAID configuration is not supported.

3. Press F3 for quick commands. A list of secure erase algorithms is available for selection.

4. I typed in dod – DoD 5220.22-M method.

5. It has taken quite a while and is currently at pass 4 of 7 since late morning.

6. Finally, it has completed. Sweet.
