Hard Drive Wipe Floppy?

[Jonny M]

I was wondering if there is a Linux/DOS/something else floppy disk image I can use that creates a bootable floppy which then procedes to wipe the hard drive quickly and without needing any user intervention?

Kinda will be used for malicious purposes but I have a good reason.

Thanks

i think you could just make a boot disc and the format c:\ in the autoexec.bat.. i havent mess with does in forever so i know iam not much help

Google for 'Autoclave'

Linux-based floppy, does exactly that. (It certainly ain't quick tho!)

Does it do it by itself though (ie, if I put the floppy in, the PC was shut down for the night, then switched on again the next morning, would the hard drive start getting formatted without any user intervention?

lol this is so blatently cause someone has pissed you off, and is a very harsh response....

so tell us the whole story and we *might* google a bit harder for you ...lol

I could try a batch file with an answers file I suppose. Would that work for something as important as a format though?

Try writing up your CV and putting it on a floppy, cos if the sysadmin finds out......

if you do make a boot floppy with autoexec.bat use the following:
format C:\ /autotest
autotest in an undocumented command which bypasses all those annoying warnings
