For some reason my wipes have failed… twice. 100% bytes erased, but blanking failed. Some of the errors suggest the disks are on their way out. NBD since they’re going to trash. Yet, while I have a million and one other things to do, I haven’t looked at a Linux distro for aeons… So, of course I’m going to look at Endeavour. This is a rabbit hole I need not be heading down today. LOL.

Damnit, I knew I should have grabbed that pack of Zoopers the other day…

Try something called killdisk. Takes a while, but always works for me.

I went with ShredOS, but yeah, I’ll take another look while I satisfy my curiosity today. I just need to get rid of the tower and it’s just been taking up space and collecting dust.

Edit: Stupid autocorrect.
