It says it is only compatible with Window XP or Vista (we use Windows 10 x64). Is there something newer that could also be put on a bootable disk or boot to USB flash drive?

We are currently using Darik's boot and nuke which works on some pc's but not others. Mainly it can not find the hard drive. We would like an open source formatting program that we could boot to and erase the hard drive (without taking 10+ hours). &nbsp;Thanks
