Does anyone know where I can get a NSA approved wipe utility that will fit onto a bootable floppy. I've been searching, but everything I've found is run from within Windows. I need something that I can boot from and wipe an entire hard drive...

Thanks for any suggestions...

here's another one which I use, not sure if it's NSA approved, but it's free...

Thanks for this thread! I'm thinking about selling some HDD's, and they have had things like my entire family's tax returns on them. This will let me protect myself and my family members from identity theft.

Does anyone else have any favored utility? Autoclave seems to be the best I've found for free... Really easy to use, too.
