Hi

I just noticed you guys are dealing with this. I know a tool called Darik's Boot and Nuke, which can do the sanitization in a lot of ways, including:

Pseudorandom streams
DOD-style
SarbOx-style/requirements-fullfillment (maybe worth a look)
Gutmann (overkill or not, its available)
Zerofill
Several kinds of Random fill
lots more of destruction candy. Worth a shot, its a tiny livecd :)
