I actually have never liked DBAN myself.

WARNING: ALL DATA, ALL PARTITIONS WILL BE UNRECOVERABLE

This is all I ever use when decommissioning or re-purposing HDD's
CMRR - Center for Magnetic Recording Research
This uses the Secure Erase Bit that is present in all Drives
Kingston recommends using HDDErase as well, even for SSD's
SSD Data Wiping: Sanitize or Secure Erase SSDs? | Kingston Technology

DBAN doesn't do this to the best of my knowledge.
This is the ONLY tool that really uses the SE on the drive itself, for free anyway.
There are Security Shredding Appliances that do use it, but they are very expensive.

EDIT: This software, as far as I can remember is about the only one that you can use and actually apply a Certified Clean statement to.

Thanks for the reply fellas but what do I do about my problem accessing the boot menu? Like I said I have a Samsung series 7 chronos laptop and every since I've had 8.1 I haven't been able to access the bios/boot menu. How do I fix this? I've pressed every function key available and none of them work.
