Subject: [Hampshire] Erasing Hard Drives
I have been given a couple of old laptops that the owner wants me
top wipe the drives clean before disposal. My original idea was to
boot them up with the dban CD and let that do its thing.
Unfortunately, I do not have the power adaptors for these laptops, so
I am going to have to remove the drives and then use my caddy.

I am a little concerned about using the dban disk, as I don't want
to damage the main drive on my machine. What tools would people
recommend that I can use to wipe clean a disk that is in my USB
caddy?

Thanks!
