DBAN or Killdisk?

Hey all

I may be selling on the GFs old laptop soon, it only has a v small drive so I'm leaving it in and need to clean it securely.

Which is better DBAN or Killdisk? (there's only one way to find out...)

I'll probably chuck a linux distro on afterwards anyhoo but want to make sure everything's gone.

Cheers

Dan

Both work well.

I tend to use DBAN

Boot and Nuke from orbit, it's the only way to be sure.

I'll keep that as option 3.
