Looks like I can't install syslinux's bootloader on an ntfs partition?

What I'd like to do is remotely setup a bootloader to wipe the hard
drive contents on old assets.
I was kind of hoping, that I could install syslinux on a remote
workstation, and then throw a dban
image and the corresponding menu and syslinux.cfg files on the remote
workstation and then reboot it
and have the client choose the option to wipe the hard drive.

Unfortunately, the entire hard drive contents is 1 large encrypted
ntfs partition. How would any of you guys
go about remotely wiping a pc, WITHOUT the ability to create boot
media, strictly remote??? oh, and no pxe
servers available either :))
