Well, I just got the computer back from the shop and he said I need to wipe the disk to install linux on it.  Right now it won't load past the hardware splash screen.

I've got a question. If you need to wipe them, they're leaving your possession. If
they're leaving your possession, they're no good to you any more. So why not just go
out in the driveway and take a hammer to them?

Actually, I'd do the urandom first just in case they can somehow glue them back
together, but drives I don't need anymore all fall under the hammer.
