Re: Hard Drive eraser recommendation

Nick,

I'd also cast my vote for DBAN. Another option is to boot a Linux LiveCD 
and run `shred` on /dev/sda (or whatever your disk would be). Though 
this may not "strictly" meet your DOD requirement. See the man page for 
more information.

I would highly recommend avoiding any paid products as there are free 
utilities that do exactly the same thing at no cost. In any case, you at 
least have DBAN.
