Making a boot disk

I have never done one and am not sure how to. What do I do?. Basically I have downloaded a zip file from a site which is designed to wipe a hard drive, and am not sure do I extract the files then make a boot disk through nero or just put it on without extraction. Also I downloaded a cdr version of thios program and if anyone could tell me how to create a boot cdr disk that would be great. The link for this software is



http://dban.sourceforge.net/

If anyone could help that would be great. Also will this be easy to do? Do I just reinstall windows like a nromal format afterwards?

Yours sincerely

Hey Koozey,

The link below should help you in making a startup disk for a Windows OS.

Note that you DO NOT need dban or any 3rd party software if your main goal is to do a basic format. Simply make a boot disk and follow instructions during the Windows install. If using Windows ME or later you will probably want to use (and learn) fdisk from the bootdisk you make.
 
ok cool but I want to use dban, and I cannot figure out how to use it. I have burned to Cd and created a cdrom boot disk using Nero but it just dont ork, can I execute in WINDOWS LIKE ANY NORMAL PROGRAM, just download it and click on the items on the desktop? Or Do I have to use it on startup?
