   @mattly I mean, I wouldn't actually install Linux on it. But if windows won't boot, you could use a Linux usb key to wipe the drive.

     @mattly oh I misread. I thought you were stuck in a boot loop where it keeps trying to enter recovery mode to diagnose why it can't boot into recovery mode.

     @mattly remove the hard disk. Smash it with a hammer. Data destruction complete.

     @mattly there are bootable disk wipe distributions. If you are familiar with Linux, you can boot to a install, then drop into shell and erase it manually with dd.
