Question Securely wipe Acer Aspire One (ZG5)

[geojay]

I have a Acer Aspire One that I'd like to securely wipe before disposing of it. I assumed I'd just use a USB disk containing DBAN but DBAN gets stuck at "loading dban.bzi". Can someone suggest another non-destructive way of wiping this netbook?

Thanks!
