[Adam, talking about DBAN]....
Does anyone know if this will work to wipe a SATA drive connected to a
PCI SATA card which is plugged into a motherboard that has IDE jacks
but no IDE drives connected?
So I'm wondering what will happen if I boot a DBAN CD or floppy in a
computer that has two IDE ports with nothing attached and one PCI SATA
card with one HDD attached. Will the SATA drivers in DBAN detect and
use a SATA drive connected in this less direct way?
If nobody has any idea, I'll try it anyway and report back.
Unfortunately I have nothing to report. I got a PCI _Express_ card by
mistake, which wouldn't fit in my old computer, so I ended up plugging
the dodgy drive into the second SATA port and using GNU shred on it
(after carefully verifying which drive was which). It didn't cause
any trouble.
