Privacy - Two tools to completely wipe data and create USB/CD Live

Today I would like to mention two tools that are able to create a USB/CD live to boot and decide how to better wipe your data on your Hard drives.

Both of them are for free (Hardwipe is free for personal use):

1. CopyWipe™ is a utility for copying or securely overwriting (wiping/erasing) entire hard drives. 

CopyWipe for DOS - Self-booting diskette or CD/DVD.

CopyWipe for Windows - Console-based Win32 application.

PEBuilder Plug-In - CopyWipe on a Bootable Windows DVD.

Consider that on Ultimate Boot CD 4.11 this utility was included

2. Hardwipe for Desktop is free for non-commercial use.

The Hardwipe Portable Edition provides a USB runnable alternative which can easily be combined with Windows PE to create a modern boot and nuke data sanitization solution with a graphical user interface.

Finally, Hardwipe's command line utility can easily be automated from the Windows Task Scheduler in order to prevent remnant data accumulation, offers total flexibility for power users.
