Because the DBAN tool (http://dban.sourceforge.net/) does not wipe the hpa and dco, I want to use hdparm. This method supports 'Secure Erase' witch is now build in modern disks. The problem that I've got is the frozen status of the disk. Does anybody now how to avoid this without doing any physical actions ? Or does anybody know an (open source and free) solution to wipe the hpa and dco on a secure way ?

DistroUbuntu Development Release Re: Wipe disk with secure erase THe first thing to do is to see if hpa is enabled. You can do this using hdparm: Code: sudo hdparm -N /dev/sdx Where sdx is your hard drive. Unless you've specifically used HPA you should have no worries. IF you want to securely wipe your hard drive ahve a look at wipe. It is available in the repositories and you can use Add/Remove Programs or Synaptic Package Manager to install it. For more info in

Following the directions in that guide has worked okay so far, but I can't seem to resolve this error: ~ $ sudo hdparm --user-master m --security-set-pass NUL /dev/sda security_password="NUL" /dev/sda: Issuing SECURITY_SET_PASS command, password="NUL", user=master, mode=high SECURITY_SET_PASS: Input/output error I've searched around and tested things, as suggested here, but to no avail. How else can I deep-wipe an SSD, hdparm error 5 if this is not an option? Note: Yes, there is a BIOS password "on" the hard disk, in that it must be typed at boot, but it's not (as far as I know) attached to the disk itself. sudo hdparm -I /dev/sda: /dev/sda: ATA device, with non-removable media Model Number: SanDisk SDSSDA240G Serial Number: 153655402044 Firmware Revision: U21010RL Media Serial Num: Media Manufacturer: Transport: Serial, ATA8-AST, SATA 1.0a, SATA II Extensions, SATA Rev 2.5, SATA Rev 2.6, SATA Rev 3.0 Standards: Used: unknown (minor revision code 0x0110) Supported: 9 8 7 6 5 Likely used: 9 Configuration: Logical max current cylinders 16383 16383 heads 16 16 sectors/track 63 63 -- CHS current addressable sectors: 16514064 LBA user addressable sectors: 268435455 LBA48 user addressable sectors: 468862128 Logical Sector size: 512 bytes Physical Sector size: 512 bytes Logical Sector-0 offset: 0 bytes device size with M = 1024*1024: 228936 MBytes device size with M = 1000*1000: 240057 MBytes (240 GB) cache/buffer size = unknown Form Factor: 2.5 inch Nominal Media Rotation Rate: Solid State Device Capabilities: LBA, IORDY(can be disabled) Queue depth: 32 Standby timer values: spec'd by Standard, no device specific minimum R/W multiple sector transfer: Max = 1 Current = 1 Advanced power management level: disabled DMA: mdma0 mdma1 mdma2 udma0 udma1 udma2 udma3 udma4 udma5 *udma6 Cycle time: min=120ns recommended=120ns PIO: pio0 pio1 pio2 pio3 pio4 Cycle time: no flow con
