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....

Suggestion, check with your local DRMO (or whatever they are calling themselves now) representative and make sure that you are allowed to send any hard drive with the machine at *ALL*.
