Dban Failed
/ process crash messages. After trying two different CD from two different machines, hooking up the drive I wanted nuked via eSATA and internal SATA. I found a link in another post that pointed me
Dban Nousb
in the right direction (link below). I unplugged my external USB drive, my eSATA drive, all internal SATA drives except the one to be nuked and my optical drive. My card reader which is plugged into a USB header on the mobo had been showing up in dban as multiple drives. I disconnected that as well. I booted with the CD. The only drive to show up in dban was the one dban finished with non-fatal errors fail ata disk to be nuked. I started the process and SUCCESS! So, if you have SATA drives and are getting non-fatal errors / process crash then unplug every drive and anything that can show up as a drive (card readers etc.) before running dban. If this works for you leave a comment to bump the post and spread the word.

I just wanted to thank everyone who added posts to this forum and helped identfy teething problems with installing DBAN! It has helped me immensely and after an evening of trying boot CD's and USB disks i finally managed to run DBAN successfully! My problems started with the actual installation of the iso file and i ignorantly tried to insallt the iso file directly onto a USB drive and run it like that. Obviously i am not that technical, but gave it a cr

product, but if you give it a couple stabs more often than not you'll succeed. Keep in mind DBAN is open source and free. Commercial products often come with support where as open source, not so much. Now on to the DBAN review. darik's boot and nuke is Free Software one can use to boot and nuke your hdd (hard drive). But with so many open source and commercial solutions to erase your hard drive one might wonder what is the best and why? Lets review my top two solutions one can use to nuke your hard drive. DBAN - free open source and works, period. System Mechanic Pro - (comes with Military Grade Scrubber & a lot more you'll use on all your devices!) DBAN versus iolo System Mechanic Pro DBAN is a free disk eraser located on sourceforge which will wipe most hard drives clear of all data. Iolo System Mechanic Professional Drive Scrubber is military grade tech and it is trusted by government agencies and major corporations as their primary disk wipe utility. Iolo will permanently wipe all hard drive information / data including partitions, formats & file data. Wipe external hard drives, thumb drives, memory cards, SD, SDHD, SDXD, iPods, MAC, etc. There's a ton of drive scrubbers on the market but for about the same price Iolo gives you more value by allowing you to optimize your computers performance, remove viruses and recover lost files you accidentally delete. erase your hard drive with DBAN & other external media. Support for all PC and Mac Computers (Intel, AMD & PowerPC). If you don' t mind paying a little cash iolo System Mechanic Pro is clearly the way to go. Its easier to use and can be used to wipe the drive of many of your hardware devices which contain a hard disk. They also sell a version of their software without all the bells and whistles for half the cost of the full featured software, as it does is erase your hard drive: it's called Drivescrubber.
