  I'd second that.  It's an excellent utility, has the flexibility to do
anything from a single pass of zeros to dozens of overwrites with random
data and fixed patterns, easily lets you select files/directories/freespace
to wipe, and I can't imagine why you ruled it out in your first post,
because it really is the best.  Unless of course you're using linux; I don't
have any recommendations for that.

    cheers,
