    Hello everybody

    I want to wipe a hard drive with Bruce Schneier's method. I want to do it by creating a bootable disc that will not require the operating system on the hard drive for it (the bootable disc) to work.

    The standard Darik's Boot and Nuke does not offer Bruce Schneier's method. I have not been able to find a custom version of DBAN that offers Bruce Schneier's method.

    "Active@ KillDisk" offers Bruce Schneier's method but only if I pay money. I am not wanting to pay money to do this.


    Somebody please show me some free software that will do the job for me, thank you

    :)

    Hello Bruce, and welcome to Ten Forums. Bruce Schneier data wipe question :)

    If you use OPTION ONE or step 2 in OPTION TWO, it won't be listed twice, but it won't include the sort order fix.

    If you use step 3 in OPTION TWO, it will be listed twice, but will include the sort order fix.

    Can you list what tasks/steps you've done thus far in your attempt to resolve it?

    Have you logged off your profile (if using Sync) and done a complete wipe of the browser?

    How about uninstall and then wipe any remaining data?

    Do you have another device you can sort on that it works fine or you could test with?
