On the linux box instead of using 'rm' use 'shred', there might even be a version of that for Windows

Then you've got the awkward questions, and more usually, double the "workload" as a result.

I have a WIN PE CD that I use for booting into. It is like Windows XP on a CD and it has a number of applications on, one of which is BCWipe. This lets me boot from CD, go into an XP interface and run a series of cool apps, such as ghost, virus scanners, connect to network etc. It even lets me copy and paste files to and from an NTFS drive while booted from CD.

I use PGP Wipe. Works for me - it is installed locally though, never tried to run off a cd.

Erasing files
I need to hand a couple of PCs (one XP, one Linux) to another department. I really don't trust one the techies in there, and I want to render certain deleted files on the hard drives irrecoverable (no, it's not p0rn, it's financial stuff).
Can anyone recommend a deletion utility that runs from a bootable floppy or CD, that will identify deleted files on the disk and offer the option to comletely erase user specified files (rather than, say, all free space, or the entire disk)?
Thanks in advance.Tags: None
