The clonezilla liveboot also has the "shred" utility, so you can boot clonezilla, enter a command prompt and run the same thing.

quoting nevent1q…00ul

I am securely erasing a hard drive in a computer that a customer recycled with me:

sudo shred -v -n 1 --random-source=/dev/urandom -z /dev/sda

Did a live boot to Linux Mint and then ran that command to overwrite the data on the drive, securely erasing it.
