OpenDiagnostics Live CD --> Securely Wipe Your PC's Hard Drive --> Autonuke

I think that i pressed Autonuke. It does work, i wiped three drives like that.
There is no option after this button.
 
Was that undesired? Bummer if so. I don't like destructive software that doesn't provide a sanity check before executing.
 
I expected a selection for which hard disk to wipe out.
I wanted to clean two of them, but at the start it started rolling. I didn't quit it since it was a fresh/trial install and because i had a recent backup.

I inserted the disc gain but did not press the button again to double check.

Just be careful if you use that for one drive only.
 
It looks like it includes DBAN. DBAN lets you pick which drives to wipe, but if you choose to autonuke, it'll wipe any drive it finds. I'm not sure if the version included with the OpenDiagnostics Live CD works any differently though.
