I'm trying to nuke a Dell Optiplex GX620. I've got a perfectly good dban 1.0.4 that I've used a bunch of times... but on this machine, it says starting, then dies, saying "dban has finished with non-fatal errors. Check the log for more information" It never gets to the interactive menu.
Now that I've disabled the non-existant floppy drive, at least it does say "to save the log file again, press enter"....
*sigh*
Well, my manager actually had some CDs - dban.org only has .iso's for CDs, which I don't know enough to make work with a DVD, so I d/l and burned the new one, 2.2.6 beta, and it's working now. Interesting... before the menu came up, it looked like the display from lshw....
Oh, and I *do* have to do at DOD full sanitization: I work at a US gov't agency, and the machine's being surplused....
