For those I have to use alternatives or just partition and format with Linux or another OS.
Your new to PC worker or tech might get fixated on a single tool or solution.

I have 5 laptops that I'm attempting to wipe clean so that I can donate by years end.
I burned a CD of Darik's Boot and Nuke.
I was able to wipe 3 of the five.
The other two [one XP & one Vista] both initiate the CD but stall with the following message:
Darik's Boot and Nuke 2.2.6 (beta) is starting.
Waiting for USB devices to register.................... done.
PCI (sysfs)
...and then nothing else, it just stalls.
Any suggestions?
Thanks
Jeff
