So many dumb replies. It's an obvious case of Computer Aliens/Ghosts. Pour gas on your hard drive and set it ablaze.
Then just pray none of them escaped.

Sure there are plenty of more quick options to use, but I posted before OP said he couldn't reformat with NTFS. So if you can't do that, it would make sense to run DBAN.
Also DBAN doesn't take ages to do, and there's a mode specially used for redeployment, and reinstalation of Windows operating systems. So it's not only necessary if you want to get rid of kiddy porn.

Rewriting random data several times on each sector of a big hard drive does take ages. OP was just finding that out, and that is even writing data only once on each position.
Besides, what makes DBAN so specifically suitable for Windows redeployment? I have a feeling that's just marketing crap.

Make sure you are very careful with partitioning, and deleting of partitions as GRUB loader takes presedence over the MBR.

Marketing for an open-source application? Sure I guess it's possible, but doesn't seem like it'd be worth their time.
It's a specific setting that is the bare minimum settings, pretty much one round, no other options as opposed tot he 35 passes, etc... of the other settings.
When you go to the option, it even says "Used for redeployment of Windows computers"
