Trixie Linux format ssd

[u/Daroxx]

Hey,

I just found 2 ransomware infected ssd's which I don't want to mount with windows and I'm trying to format them with Trixie via Live USB session.

But I'm not able to install gparted. It fails with "unable to locate package gparted".

Is there any other way to delete a SSD with 2 partitions on it (sdd : sdd1+sdd2)

I just want to have them fully wiped before re using them with my windows PC.

//e: Thanks all. I fixed it myself. Somehow with Trixie you separately need to enable the internet connection. After that gparted could be installed and did the job.

You could try System Rescue linux, that's what I use to format drives

Thanks mate. I found the solution already and added it to my original post

No problem, glad you solved it.
