You'd probably be better off just using DBAN if you are wiping a whole drive, or something like shred if you are wiping files.

shred can also wipe drives. In linux everything is a file.

I am just looking to overwrite free space. I have my data on NTFS so it can be shared with windows.
You must first mount your windows partition. Then open a terminal.
In the terminal, I typed in
watch -n 5 df -hm
From the terminal, I copied my windows partition.
which looked something like this.
After copying the location of my windows partition. I opened a second terminal. In the second terminal, I typed in.../media/06106DD0106DdhF1
After typing in sudo sfill.sudo sfill
I then addedImmediately after sudo sfill. In my case it read like this../media/06106DD0106DdhF1
sudo sfill /media/06106DD0106Dh6F1
For those unsure which partition is their windows partition
type " watch -n 5 df -hm " into a terminal before mounting the windows partition.
Take note of what appears in the terminal. Then press ctrl-c with the terminal active to exit cleanly. Do not close the terminal....
Now, Mount your windows partition......
Go back to the terminal......
Then type into the terminal " watch -n 5 df -hm " . The new partition should now show up.
If you would like to see the progress of sfill
Open a second terminal. type the command
It shows you sfill's progress It updates every 5 seconds.watch -n 5 df -hm
Sfill can take many hours.
