I recommend the use of Darik's Boot And Nuke (DBAN) rather than Autoclave. DBAN has much better hardware support, better customization options, a better selection of erase methods, and a better user interface. It is better than Autoclave in all respects I can think of, and I say that as the author of Autoclave. Just an note of an update.

Autoclave End Of Life Notice
March 3, 2005

Effective immediately, I will no longer be supporting Autoclave, a floppy-based hard drive erasing utility, except in the case of University of Washington staff, faculty and students who are used to using Autoclave and need help with the transition to a different product.

I recommend the use of Darik’s Boot And Nuke (DBAN) rather than Autoclave. DBAN has much better hardware support, better customization options, a better selection of erase methods, and a better user interface. It is better than Autoclave in all respects I can think of, and I say that as the author of Autoclave.

But that is just my personal opinion. I think that Step #4 should be #1 because it is more fun and a great stress reliever. But that is just my personal opinion.
