Yes. The dod wipe will delete all information including the partition but windows will create a new partition and you'll have your hard drive back. Which software are you planning to use?

Yes I also used it. I think it is great and I never heard any negative response to it. If you have any question left check this:

To reinstall windows you need the windows cd. You can download this cd elsewhere or you can borrow it from someone. While I was searching I found two useful sources. A tutorial:

Code:

And many questions and corresponding answers:

Code:

In the last source this was included:

Quote:Q: Why does my computer start into a black screen after using DBAN?

A: You must reinstall an operating system because DBAN removes it.

So it definitely is possible!

Why don't you just tap F11 on startup and do a system restore?
