   ShredOS Disk Eraser

   "ShredOS is a USB bootable (BIOS or UEFI) small linux distribution with the   
   sole purpose of securely erasing the entire contents of your disks using the   
   program nwipe. If you are familiar with dwipe from DBAN then you will feel   
   right at home with ShredOS    
   and nwipe. What are the advantages of nwipe over dwipe/DBAN? Well as everybody   
   probably knows, DBAN development stopped in 2015 which means it has not   
   received any further bug fixes or support for new hardware since that date.   
   Nwipe originally was a fork    
   of dwipe but has continued to have improvements and bug fixes and is now   
   available in many Linux distros. ShredOS hopefully will always provide the   
   latest nwipe on a up to date Linux kernel so it will support modern hardware.   
      
   ShredOS supports either 32bit or 64bit processors. You will need to download   
   the appropriate 64bit or 32bit .img or .iso file, depending upon your target   
   processor and whether you want to burn ShredOS to a USB memory stick, in which   
   case you would    
   download the .img file. Alternatively, if you wanted to burn ShredOS to   
   CD/DVD, then you would download the .iso file."
