I have just been donated an older Toshiba laptop that the donor has not wiped. I would like opinions on which is the safest erasure process (for the donor's information) that should be performed such that I can place it with a youth with little risk to the donor.
Yes, I know backing the car up over the computer is a sure fire way to secure his data
However I'm not considering this as an option.
I would prefer to simply wipe and install LL from the bootable USB as this is far faster than using DBAN first. I am certainly comfortable using DBAN first, after checking that LL 3.4 runs fine on this computer, should DBAN be deemed the best option.
