Ive got about 100 Windows 9x boxes that i've got to format and I want to do them in one job if I can. Can anyone suggest any good tools for doing this?

btw im getting ready to donate them to charity. Nothing nasty going on!!

Format or erase information?

To erase info read about Darik's Boot and Nuke tools:

The UBCD (Ultimate Boot CD) contains several disk wipong tools including Darik's Boot and Nuke.

All great products. The problem I have is to do 100 achines individually im looking at hours and hours that I dont have.

Im really looking for something where I can image 10 at a time and leave the hdds in an empty state.

Ive looked at Windows options such as ghostcast but im looking for the cooler Linux option.

Recruit a bunch of 13-year-old nerds. Equip them with the CDs. Then reward them with Ritz crackers.
