Easy method to format laptops hdd

[RabbieBurns]

Ive got over 700 laptops that we are disposing of and need to find a quick way to format the disks.

 

It doesnt need to be a secure wipe, Im just looking for perhaps a live USB I can boot them from that will automatically run a format (which would probably need to load whatever sata drivers as well for the disk?)

 

Is there maybe a simple SCCM task sequence I could create that would achieve this that I could put on USB without having to wire them up to the network?

If you have them all registered with SCCM already you could easily create a task sequence that formats the drive. Set it as required for the laptops.

Could use a secure method (DBAN boot and Nuke) and stop it after a few minutes after it has done 1 pass.

 

Install DBAN to a USB Flash Drive using Windows | USB Pen Drive Linux
