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.

I would suggest #AlpineLinux.

Minimal Hardware Requirements, for a graphical desktop: 512 MB of RAM, 700 MB space on a writable storage device.
