In case someone reading isn't familiar, I will break down that line. I am going to paste a reply to a post from a while ago where the person asking was maybe not as savvy (and I think they had little linux experience): If you can boot with a linux live disk of some sort, you can use shred, which is included in most the common OSs. 7.It will be able to detect and wipe the drives now.4.In the same line of text toward the end, change "sd" to say "c0d".3.Search the file for SD_FOUND and modify the "/dev" section of the line to say "/dev/cciss".

2.Go to the /etc/init.d folder and edit the script file named "main".1.Boot and run the disk so it comes up with the error that it can't detect any drives, then press ALT-F4 and Enter to get a shell.However, HP servers do not get their drives detected by this disk by default.įirst thing you want to do is to put all the hard drives on the server in a raid0 config, then follow the following steps to get the tool to detect the drives: Using the "Derrik's Boot and Nuke" cd is the currently accepted way to delete all data securely from hard drives. Here's what I had to do to get DBAN to work on older HP gear: Since at least some of your gear is re-branded HP servers, then you may have the same problem.
