Adrian- Merely a guess as I'm on the road without access to a test disk but I think you're asking dd to write *within* the volume so you're still going to see NTFS remnants. Are you trying to wipe the entire physical drive? If so, you will probably need to access the drive at the physical device level:
- C:\Users\adrian\Desktop\aft>dd if=/dev/zero of=\\?\Device\Harddisk1\Partition0 bs=1M --progress *[check your dd --list for accurate device number]* -Joel "The path to hell is paved with good intentions."
