Add Support for "Secure Erase" and "MHDD" #938

Open asheroto opened 3 years ago

I'd like to request support for two programs for drive erasure.

Secure Erase / HDDErase and MHDD are popular utilities that erase a drive by sending the ATA Secure Erase command to the drive, which provides a quick and secure method to erase drives. Recommended by the NSA.

I tried both using Ventoy 1.0.45 (non-UEFI) and neither will boot, I get this screen: IMG_20210602_195355 (Small)

All other ISOs boot normally.

Thanks!

Please try press F1 to switch to memdisk mode firstly and then select the ISO to boot.

Thanks. I tried that but no luck. Tried it with FreeDOS and no luck there either.

Pressing F1 and then loading FreeDOS it says "loading from memory" but it fails to load.

FreeDOS is pretty popular, even Rufus has it built in.
