Wipe C Drive without CD

Wipe C Drive without CD is highly difficult in programing, because System won't allow software to erase system file when Windows is running, that's why many other data destruction software require a bootable CD when wiping C Drive. But the situation is, we don't have such bootable discs, no CDs, no USBs; how to wipe a hard drive clean then? Many of us won't buy a new bootable device only to be the medium of wiping program.

Make full use of old disks

New PCs and laptops are cheaper but more powerful than before, old systems may not apply for modern usage, OK, not performances good on recent awesome new games. However, hard drives in old PCs can still be used for new PC hard drive free space extension. More storage space means more games can be downloaded. Why not make full use of them?

Before plugging old drive into new PC, make sure the disk is clean enough and virus free. Not sure if it clean? Never mind, don't bother to recall anything; we just need a clean one now. If there were issues on the disk, they won't show on the new computer after wiped. There're 2 ways to wipe old disks, we'll list how.
