    Trying to use Killdisk in DOS but keeps saying bad command or filename


    I am trying to use Killdisk in DOS, but everytime I write >killdisk.exe -? (as instructed) it says that it is a bad command or filename. I am quite the amateur and so I apologise in advance if this is a silly question - I have never used DOS before!

    I appreciate any advice. Thank you

    Hi Moz,

    What are you trying to achieve with killdisk? Perhaps we can suggest a better alternative.

    Hi Golden,

    Thanks for your reply...sorry for my delay.

    I am getting rid of an old computer, and so want to erase the hard drive before doing so.

    Thanks again,
