    I am looking for a utility that I could use to wipe hard drives using a boot
disk.  To completely overwrite the entire drive, I would need to boot to a
different device.  Correct?  If I slave a hard drive and boot to the master,
doesn't Windows still create a recycle bin on the slave?  Would mounting it
with Linux be a better solution?  Which Linux program works best?
 
I am only looking to delete company data, not classified....I know about the
NISPOM specs.
