You are right. If you just want to wipe the empty areas of your HD, then a
program like Eraser will do the job and it is Jaws accessible. If you want
to clean off an entire HD then you will need to use a stand-alone program
like Darrick's Boot and Nuke or remove the HD from its computer, attach it
to another computer and wipe it with one of the Jaws accessible programs.
It all depends on what you are trying to accomplish.

I am curious on how something like this could be used with jaws, or any
other screen reader for that matter. I guess if it were a matter of just
getting rid of certain files it would be ok but how would you clean the
intire drive. I always figured you would have to boot into another, say,
live cd and do it from there. I was going to ask if something like grml
would have the tools to get something like this done.

They both work very well. I normally just use wipe drive but either of them
will do the job.

Hi Mark,
I can't tell you, I haven't used either one of them,
but I believe that David has, maybe with luck he'll jump in here.

Hi Richard,
Thank you for the information. Which of these two drive wipe utilities
is preferable? Is one easier to use than the other? I remember in my earlier
windows days playing with a file shredder and erasing everything on my
desktop. In this case I want to wipe out an entire drive. However, I hope I
don't wipe my main on board drive. Smile.
God bless,
Mark

Hi
It used to be that there was a disk wipe utility as part of my
Norton's. I am not seeing it in my current version. Which disk wipe
utilities have people on the list had success with? I have heard the term
military wipe and that sounds like the type of thing I am looking for to
clean off old hard drives.
Thank you.
God bless,
Mark
