Looking to format a computer this weekend and put on a fresh install of Windows 7.

In the past I have used DBAN Boot n Nuke but in this case, time is limited and I am looking for something that is effective but fast. What is my best option?

Thanks in advance.
 
Why? :confused: just use quick format option when you install Win7 that'll suffice.

Unless you have dat you need destroyed - if so; a hammer is the best option.

This is pretty much the answer I was looking for.

Nothing sensitive on drive.

Just wanting a fresh install, latest drivers, no mess etc.
 
Only time I'd ever use DBAN is when you're selling a hard drive to someone else and you don't want any way of them recovering your browser cookies / passwords

Just use the quick format option during the cd boot :)
