        Try dd from the latest Linux distribution or the Image Masster 
Solo 2  Forensics System.

Hope that helps,

I am looking to draft a corporate policy requiring all hard drives to be 
wiped before being decommissioned, sold, donated, etc.

 The wipe utility must be able to make numerous (up to seven) 
uninterrupted passes and support a wide array of file systems (fat, ntfs, 
etc). 

Also, the software must support the ability to assign a particular hex 
character as the wipe character.

Could anyone recommend some products? I currently use wiper for my 
forensic investigations and am very happy with that but I want to provide 
our IT group with several other acceptable options.

Thanks, D
