What if you have multiple disks, how would you start the wipping process on all hard drives at the same time. I am dealing with hp servers right now and I am having a tough time.

Gdisk if you have symantec ghost. Use the command

gdisk [disk number] /del /all /dodwipe

This runs a DOD wipe of the specified hard drive

I am looking for a good utility to erase all hard drives
in a machine to a DOD standard. I would prefer a
FREE utility as this is a government agency and I try
to keep costs down.

I have read that Norton Wipeinfo, BCWipe and
several other programs wipe only the known
partitions. I need a tool that will wipe EVERYTHING !

TIA
Dan
