    I bought a brand new Fujitsu hard drive and messed up on the partition. I have DBAN in a boot disk. Can I use use DBAN, with command "autonuke" to remove the partitions?

    I fail to see why you'd need to? Just boot the same HDD with an XP disk and wipe with that and reformat with it too... But i guess DBAN would work too...
