Hello,
I am looking for a (simple) way to create a USB stick that I can let my wife plug in and just start the computer (linuxOS) and then there will be a message (just in case a mistake happened) where the 'user' can choose to cancel.
This USB stick will then, upon approval, erase everything on your computer's hard drives.
I want to do this because I have privacy information that is only for me.
When I was working in a municipality, within healthcare, with security (information with high privacy) a few years ago, I created a DOS floppy disk that erased the entire C: volume and then wrote small files that filled the entire partition. Then split the volume into two partitions. Wrote files to full volume on both partitions. Then everything was erased again and then created a single partition.
Then we were able to give the computer to voluntary organizations.
I now want to create a similar one, but then a USB stick and it is enough to erase / clear existing partitions.
I've tried FreeDos and Parted Magic but can't get it done with autorun.
The easiest thing would be to have a DOS installation and fdisk.
Some ideas?
