Computer Wont Wipe

I have a MAJOR PROBLEM. My MD Titanium 8000 XL computer from Aldis will not allow me to wipe my hard drive. I am trying to use White Canyon's Wipe Drive software, but it says weird things. It starts to read the disk and everything is fine and dandy, then it says bad file or command when I didnt even type anything. I will post a screenshot on a page. I will give you the link. It may take a while.

Re: Computer Wont Wipe

The only part that was readable was "Bad or missing command interpreter." If you find out who manufactered the Hard Drive (Maxtor, etc.) you can download their hard drive installation/tools disk from their site. This should allow you to do a low-level format.
