I am sure that you will receive several suggestion on how to achieve
your goal. You might want to visit http://www.freedos.org/ and download
a copy of FreeDos. Install it on a floppy disk and use it to nuke your
HD. You can even repartition it, format it, etc. It works well as a
simple utility program. The documentation sort of sucks; however, it
really isn't that difficult to figure out.
