I'm in a pickle~ What should I use to wipe my hard drive

I'm going to send in a laptop to have it's parts recycled, but I want to remove all memory that might be on it due to incriminating photos of Marijuana use... etc...

Basically the letter's "B", "N", "Y", and the spacebar are completely fucked and the mouse barely works. So I can't use DBAND.... The laptop has no CD drive and I don't own an external so it needs to be something that can boot automatically from a USB drive and requires minimal button pressing... Something that only requires arrow keys and "return" would be the best. I'm at a loss here, everything I've tried requires me to type at least "y" for a confirmation.

TLDR: Need to wipe a laptop with a broke AF keyboard.

Did you know you can extract hdd from almost any notebook simply with screwdriver?

Or just plugging mouse and or keyboard to usb works too.

I'm living overseas and haven't done drugs in years because it's very illegal here... I can imagine the computer store folks going through my shit to search for interesting stuff, but I don't want to manually destroy a perfectly good drive... Also not trying to buy an external mouse and keyboard right now, I'm saving money to leave the country.

i might be completely wrong here but cant you make letters by using the alt key and letters?
>>
>>18509822
by using alt and numbers*
sorry im retarded

>>18509822
Usually yes but the fucking keyboard doesn't support it... I guess I need a separate number pa or something... I really disliked that I couldn't triforce on it.

Just magnet that shit and get a new one.
HDDs are cheap.

it's best just to small amounts of thermite planted in your hard drive for remote detonation in these circumstances, then if the police come for you, your drive quickly and efficiently is destroyed!

You could just take it off and give them notebook without hdd. Maybe you should try to avoid drugs before it kills all your 5 cells left in your brain.

You know what, I hope they manage to find something on you. No skin off our nuts.

When it comes right down to it, all you -really- have to do is delete whatever pictures you don't want them to see. Do you really think they care enough to run forensic data recovery on every dipshit's computer that comes through their shop?

Use an external mouse and keyboard or better yet remove the HD. I always dispose of the HD mysel and I don't give two shits about the harmful chemicals because our government Fosters identity theft.
