    Agreed. You do need a CD, DVD or USB to run DBAN as it needs to run on boot up in order to completely wipe the hard drive. If you're running Windows as normal it will not work. DBAN is used to completely wipe a disk clean making all data unrecoverable.

    You need a CD or USB to boot from to run DBAN or anything else that will do a full overwrite of a disk.

    Anything that runs from the disk you're trying to erase would have problems overwriting itself, the operating system, and anything else that's open, as those file would be in use and blocked from being deleted.
