Fastest way to erase HD vis cdrom

[holden j caufield]

I've used Ultimate Boot CD. Is there a certain program in UBCD that is fastest for just wiping the partition. There isn't any sensitive info on these but I need for some guys to erase a few hundred quickly before we send them off to ewaste.

Since any program has to write on each and every sector of the disk there is no faster or slower method,just choose a single pass and not 3-4 passes.

Delete the partition in Disk Manager?

Just do this if there isn't any sensitive data on them. Maybe create a couple partitions afterwards and then delete them also.

I would give sdelete with the -z option a shot. I am not sure if it's bundled into UBCD or Hiren's, but it's a CLI program and would suit nicely I'd think.
