[olug] wiping out a laptop

Cfdisk or similar.....*hiccup*

Perhaps that pc recovery disc thing, check distrowatch for proper mirror. Format. Or go to walamart and have them run the machine through the checkout, worked on the last two micro sd cards I've bought ;)

i was asked to wipe out a laptop that a friends son downloaded some 
junk. Its running MS Vista the parents want every thing gone. I tried 
using dban boot nuke and came with a error non fatal error. would anyone 
know of any other programs out there to zero out a hard drive.. Thanks Kelly

No I am not going to put vista back on. I tried FC 10 it worked great...
