We have software here called Secure Data Disposal. This and all the other data wipers do what there intended. Wipe the drive once you get past the hard drive (user and or master) / BIOS password. If anyone has been an admin for corporate laptops you know that hard drive passwords are a must, mostly ...

Hey Guys... I know, it's been forever... :) Still in IBM as IT, but working in asset management and IBM enterprise storage stuff now. We have a mega IT recycling center. If a user forgets the hard drive password, then there laptop / desktop hard drive is a door stopper. By this time in IT you would ...

Using Xp with newer hardware (new SATA drives), you need to slipstream the hard drive drivers onto a new OS install disk. Or you can do the F6 boot fun, which never really works out...

OK, Been with JiF since 2002, and the only game I have played was PC BF42 bought in 2002 and then the expansions for PC. I know I need to get with the times. My kids are 5 and 8 now and the wife and I are thinking of a gaming console for the family, not just them. I know there is the Wii, Xbox, and ...

Hello, The DBAN worked great for the IDE drive stuff. I have 6 SCSI drives that I would like to wipe also. Bad thing is I don't have SCSI on my PC. I do have @ my disposal, SCSI PCI cards with ribbon cables. I was seeing how to let the PC know that I have a scsi drive connected via PCI bus when I bo...

LOL, I know .... I wasnt this simple also. 1 last time. I just want to make sure "my documents" on 3 pc's to be safe. If this just calls for eack PC to have there own ext. hard drive and I just do a incremental every few days, I guess that will be fine. I'm not sure why I can have somethin...

Thanks for the info Lini, Ok, so for the 3 PC's I have in the house, you suggest to get 2 different external enclosure systems? If so, what is the best way to have these "available and always on" when a user boots up there PC. I have an external harddrive @ work that sits cold and idle unt...

OK, I went from a solution found to confused. I basically just want to protect all my videos, photos, and "my documents". I want peace of mind that if a piece of hardware dies, that the other piece carries on until I can fix the broken part. I don't care about speed as much as price. Any t...

Man... I knew I missed you guys. Smuckers... Ment.... been a long time...

Thanks for all the info.

Mentat... Comodo Firewall and Antivirus is now Comodo Internet Security. Would you recommend this total package. Or get AVG for AV and get Comodo for FW.

I guess the next thing I would need is a good USB hub as I will be tieing 3 systems to access this external solution.

Thoughts on a good USB hub. Or is any powered 2.0 USB hub good? Is there a better solution?

Thanks

Hello, I have used Symantec AV for years. I paid for each year and for each system. Back in 2005-2007 I was using Comcast's Free version of McAFee AV. This worked good until I switched to Verizon. I'm now in need of AV. I still have Comcast's McaFee on my systems, but does not grab the latest DAT fi...

Nice find Mike. This is exactly what I was looking for. Now the question is.... 1TB or 2TB. For another $50 I can get the 2T version.

Thanks again Mike...

Hey Guys... Looking to solution something out. I have 3 computers at home. All with gigs of data in "My Documents" The wife's PC alone has 150 gig of family pics. I want to protect this data. If her hard drive ever died, we would be screwed. I know there are 1 and 2 drive USB external encl...

Downloaded the .iso for DBAN. Took about 3 hours for a 60gb disk. It said it was complete.

Beej... Is it safe to say the drive is wiped?

Thanks
