Wipe Hidden Partitions

[martymas]

hi all

i had this compt given to me it belonged to a

medical center whereby people could surf and play games

the center cleaned the disk which had their their data

but it is a hp compt and motherboard

and has this hidden partition which i cant get into to wipe

when it boots it goes the partition and gives you 3 choices

one is to press f2 to take you to a pass-word

to get you to the bios

i dont know the pass-word

and it not haveing an operating sys makes it

nil for options

the only way is for me to try and delete that hp partition

and reinstall win

any one struck this before

if so how did you fix it

ive tried xpdisk floppy after floppy

but no go

i tried another hdd

but that hp brand still comes up

so it must be on the mother board

any ideas

no.. the guy has made eban (or something like that), a commercial program based on dban. so he's working on it

That's all I use. The program is simple yet effective.

I like it, I'll use it the next time I do a slack install.
