Bryan,
I've made a floppy version of dban, but tell me if I accidentally left it in my A drive and booted up on it, it wouldn't atually wipe my entire drive without asking me first would it ?
As far as I know, it would not. The later versions of dban allow you to wipe just a single partition, rather than the entire drive. You would have to interact with the app after it detects the partitions and drives to tell it which one to wipe.
However, I would recommend that you only insert and boot from that floppy when you KNOW you intend to wipe a partition or drive and obviously, you want to have a backup of all data before you do that.
Oh for sure, but you know how it is, the best laid plans of mice and men.
