- Wipe out disk
- Posted by Daniel Royer on January 18th, 2006
I need to wipe out the hard disks of several PC's running on XP sp2. Is
there a way to do it from within XP? Since I seriously doubt it, I
wonder if there is a way to download a Dos boot disk containing fdisk to
do the job. Where?

You have to do it outside the S if that disk being used by the OS.
You can use the GDisk.exe or GDisk32.exe utilities provided by Norton Utilities and Norton
Ghost.

Don't forget, you can delete all the partitions by booting with your XPCD
all the tools are there.
