What is the best (easiest) way to overwrite old harddisks with random garbage ?
To do a whole harddisk I use Deriks Boot and Nuke, and it comes in two formats CD ISO and Floppy. The bad thing about it is that its pretty much a waste of a CD because its not even 3 MB, also I wouldn't call it easy its not very well documented so it will take some time to figure out what it is doing. The good thing is it can do anything from a quick wipe, one pass writing 0s on the whole disk (Recommended for internal use only) to a Guttman wipe, 36 passes writing 0s (Most secure wipe it can do), I also beleave that you can customize it to wipe as many times as you want it to.
