+
+#Key changes:
+#List Drives: Instead of expecting the device as an argument, the script uses the select command to show available drives (/dev/sd*), which should match typical drive names on Linux. This allows the user to select the device by number.
+
+#User Selection: The select loop waits for the user to pick a valid option (matching a drive) before continuing. If an invalid selection is made, it prompts again.
+
+#Usage:
+#Run the script.
+#A list of available drives (like /dev/sda, /dev/sdb, etc.) will appear with numbered options.
+#The user can type the number corresponding to the drive they wish to wipe.
+#The script then asks for confirmation before proceeding with the secure wipe.
+#This provides a much safer and more user-friendly method to select and wipe drives.
