Version: Active@ Kill Disk - Hard Drive Eraser 5.1
"It wiped free space before donating old WIn95 machine"
Pros: Was able to use this on 14-year old Win95 machine. Ran the DOS version and it sanitized my free space, so I could leave the OS but make sure nothing personal remained. Just what I needed.
Cons: Had some errors running Win mode (some DLL not found), but that was probably due to something gone wrong with old WIn95 setup.
Summary: Great way to clean up an old HDD.
