Anyone used DBAN "Nuke" on USB? (For HDD's)
Also, what's the cleanest way to fresh/clean Windows install on SSD?
Edit: If your dual-booting, what's the cleanest Win7/Linux installs, each it's own physical drive?

K'

I've used it on a USB stick from time to time. It runs fairly well and you can always create one using unetbootn of necessary.
 
As for a clean install of Windows on SSD the normal rules would apply but I would not suggest using a boot/sector erasing tool as that may degrade the usability of the SSD for certain chipsets. Some of the more recent SSDs allowed for this kind of thing but overall it would be detrimental to the life of the drive.
 
For a dual boot scenario as to Windows/Linux allow the windows OS to install but leave a large enough unformatted partition for Linux. You can then use the linux boot loader (grub) to manage the boot partitions or, if you are savy enough, allow the windows boot loader to reference the initrd on the Linux boot partition to do the same thing. It's easier with grub but everyone has a preference.
