Wipe hard drive from BIOS?
I was wondering if there was any way to wipe a hard drive without actually logging on and booting the OS. Both are IDE drives, about 6 year old computers. One's my Dad's, OS won't boot because of virus problems. The other computer I found in my local school district junkyard. Still works and everything, but on startup it asks for the network login credentials. I want to just wipe the hard drives and reinstall the operating systems, the only problem is I can't get in them. Any suggestions?
