I've been physically destroying several old hard drives and prepping a pile of old electronics for recycling. The HDD in this old acer palmtop was too hard to get out. I couldn't even figure it out. So I found this very old software to supposedly wipe it. It's fine, I only ever used this thing to tinker with Arduino anyway.

It has (had) Win XP on it 😆
Note the tiny piece of sticky note covering up the camera, yeah I do that. Too many years in the IC

Follow-up: Now that I've wiped this palmtop I'm tempted to try putting #Linux on it. Anybody know what might work well on it? It's over 10 years old and by today's standards pretty limited. Acer Aspire One ZG5, specs: Intel Atom 1.6GHz CPU, 1GB RAM, 120GB HDD. I would want a user friendly OS that doesn't need me to do much command line if at all.

@Nonya_Bidniss Based on my own experience with limited hardware, I'd say maybe antiX, Void Linux, or Bodhi Linux.

antiX has the least RAM usage and it has its own package installer. Bodhi Linux is slightly outdated.
