Which assumes you _have_ \\.\PhysicalDrive1, and have a bootable O/S on it, *and* know how to make the machine boot from the 'other disk' *AND* know the 'magic incantation' to invoke the executable to erase the disk in -that- environmnt. Care to guess what percentnage of Windows users fits that criteria? I'm petty sure, albeit without any 'ahrd facts', that it starts with a decimal point, and several zeroes. <wry grin> _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[email protected]"
