Requirements are as follows: -> Self contained bootable image (Bootable) -> Must be very fast since some drives are 40 + GB. -> Must support SCSI, IDE, etc. -> Must be easy to use. -> Data must not be recoverable. -> Platform Independent as when it comes to Intel based platforms. -> A readme file, outlining the steps to follow must be provided for Compiling. -> Prior to wiping out the specified disks, they should be enumerated and the user should have a menu to perform the operations needed. I prefer to have the whole project done utilizing the Linux Kernel. Thank you and good luck bidding. Kindest Regards, Peter * Must be console based, no windows unless it's designed with the Linux Kernel as the bootable image. * There must be no limitations to the size of the drive to be wiped out. * Keep in mind, when the software is working, it will usually not be on a main hard disk on the machine. However, this does not mean that it will never reside there. Deliverables: 1) Complete and fully-functional working program(s) in executable form as well as complete source code of all work done. 2) Installation package that will install the software (in ready-to-run condition) on the platform(s) specified in this bid request. 3) Complete ownership and distribution copyrights to all work purchased.

The program wont use any operating system and will have a nice user screen to instruct it what to do. I expect the whole image to be approx 10-20KB's. Will only take about a day or so turnaround time as i have done programs like this before!
