Help using BOOT & NUKE

Jun 28, 2010 2:18AM PDT

I have a computer from work that they want me to erase all the files. I found boot and nuke which looks good. However, I have to put it on a bootable CD. So when i go to computer and try to format disk, i am unable to put a check next to the box that says create a ms dos startup disk. So how do i do this?

Thanks

There is no such software.

The question comes up from time to time on how to delete all the files but keep the Windows OS.

There is no such software today.
