In depth
A closer look at Autoclave
Autoclave is a hard disk sterilization tool which you can launch from a bootable floppy disk. Autoclave securely erases everything in the writable space on a hard drive. Everything. All the files, all the free space, the partition table, the boot sector, the works. This includes the operating system and any preinstalled packages your hardware vendor may have included on the drive when you got it. Everything. I don't know how to say this more emphatically. When Autoclave is done running, you will have a hard drive filled with zeros, and nothing else.
