Questions & Answers

There is only one thing I want to remove and that is an old McAffee mess that is asking for a password I forgot a very What are the chances of this working?

I am not sure whether it will happen. remove the program from my entire C drive. If you have the Oracle version of McAffee and have completely removed the program from your C drive, I am assuming it will not work. Please feel free to contact McAffee directly (once you have deleted the old program), as they may be able to assist. Thank you for your time. I'm sorry if I can be more helpful.

Unable to remove Ubuntu from system, cannot install Windows, will this completely erase the drive and allow me to reinstall Windows ?

The product I used one time was sufficient to remove everything except the operating system. The reason I did this was that my old desktop was going to be donated to charity, so I didn't want my personal data to be The procedure worked, but I chose the most secure means, so it took 12 days to complete Takes 18 hours from beginning to end. In an old laptop I was going to donate, I tried to use the program again to remove everything, including the OS, and it just sat there and wouldn't finish. The software has limited functionality, and you have to purchase another copy after that. For about $20USD, that's not too bad, but I plan to use it at least twice. Regarding your question, I would say that it should do exactly what you want if you choose the option to remove everything including the OS if you bought Once you have used it, it is unlikely you will be able to use it In my experience, it was like that.

The review of WipeDrive said you had to know the Serial# of your hard drive in order to use it. Is this accurate? find out how many the Serial Number on your HD is?

In my experience, you don't need to know the serial number of a device to run this software, you just need to know which drive you want to wipe, such as drive C or whatever letter designation you want, but that's

Do I have the option to choose which parts I want it to wipe, such as can I choose just to wipe the recycling bin? Is that all?

The program gives you a few choices when it comes to deleting areas, but I do not believe that you can Although certain programs and partitions can be wiped, it will not allow you to wipe the entire drive.

Anyways, I am now one of the victims
3/5

In my experience, I have bought this product numerous times, but there has been one instance where the HD is useless. The Wipedrive disk crashed on me again, which is only the third time I've used it. There was an old review here where the HD system was locked without any way of unlocking Yeah, that's what happens and the bug has not been sorted out yet after all these years White Canyon's support team did not know how to proceed. In addition, the three-day time limit to use it is something they don't tell you, so all kinds of strange things begin to happen. In addition to having a problem with ethics, White Canyon also has a problem with economy. Also, version six will no longer be supported by their company. My last interaction with this product was several years ago. There are too many HDs that were lost. There is a Russian roulette element to it. That was my nearly new $50 HD, gone in an instant.

It was a hard lesson for me to learn the hard way when I used The hard way, as it were, I found out that if you use the product more than three times, which is not indicated on or in the box, you end up with an unbootable disc drive
3/5

A different disc software shows a small red warning mark. My drive has suddenly become password protected, as well as having a banded sector on what is supposed to be a blank drive. Always keep an eye out for the caveat emptor!.

It can be used to save your computer
5/5

I think of it as saving my life or my computer. If you come across a really bad virus that you cannot get rid of, run the software through your antivirus, malware, and anti bug software, save them on a DVD, then use Wipedrive to wipe your hard drive, then use a copy of your operating system to install it again. Get your operating system up and running. Please never use a copy from anyone, regardless of who gave it to you. It is possible that this will reinfect your computer with another strain of the virus, If you turn on your computer and hope for the best, it will never be known until you turn it on or try to wipe your drive. Wipedrive is the best way to do this.

If you want to erase your information but keep your operating system, then you can
5/5

You can wipe your personal information while keeping your operating system with Wipedrive 6. It is possible to erase your personal information and ensure there is no trace of it Unlike your operating system, you don't have to erase it. In fact, you can erase the entire drive if you want. Either way, your computer will be erased at the You can do it very easily. I previously had trouble using the software that I got for wiping my drives. To prevent improper erasure of my data and potential information theft, I kept my computer rather than donate it. I found the instructions for Wipedrive 6 to be extremely clear and easy to follow. As soon as I inserted the disk, I was aware of the choices I could make and selected the level of erasure After years of using old laptops, I can finally throw them out!.

Okay, but it is a bit mystery as to what it does and is not as flexible as one might hope
3/5

To remove everything from my computer, I have only attempted this once so far. While it took a while to complete, considering that I got the DoD-approved training program, it was worth it The method of erasure approved by the FDA). In my experience, the program removed what seemed to be a large amount of directories (in the thousands) and files (in the millions). It is probable that I did not have as many "personal" directories or files on my hard drive as I thought. The problem is, after it had cleaned up the files, I couldn't find the ones I was looking for Those under Documents, Pictures, etc. I am giving it 3 stars for the time being 2) At this point I am unsure where the files/directories it is deleting come from. If the manufacturer of the software could explain what it considers personal files and folders it cleans up, I think it would be helpful. dismantled the whole hard drive as I was not going to make sure the files were recoverable afterward. Because of this, I cannot be certain it did what it was supposed 1) The only option available seems to be to delete your In the option to choose a single file or directory to delete, I did not see that option. Despite my frustration, I am still not giving up on this software. The three things I'm concerned about will be addressed more if I experiment more. I will update this review if anything changes.

In the Truest Sense of the Word! This would have saved me a lot of money compared to what I was going to spend at my local computer retailer who claimed to be able to fix my computer virus problems for me
5/5

It was so much easier and faster to use WipeDrive for my needs, since they did it for a lot less money. This software lets you wipe your hard drive in various ways If you wipe the entire operating system and everything it contains, or if you wipe while saving the OS and everything it contains, the operating system must be erased. To prevent any damage to my files, I transferred all the documents and files to an external hard drive then made sure I had all the backups Obtain the disks required to install the operating system, drives and devices (in my case Windows Vista) and any other You need to set aside at least three to eight hours to complete Step by step instructions will appear once you boot up and insert the disk. Both options have been tried to no avail Initially, we had to save the OS and programs, but this took three hours due to a Windows issue However, the PC was still unable to boot. The OS and programs had been saved but everything else had been deleted. In order to test the other possibility, I tried All your data must be wiped. I didn't realize how simple this was until now! In total, it took about one hour to wipe off. I then spent roughly two hours to re-do it Using only the necessary parts of the installation. I've had my PC for a week now and it runs like a brand new Dell computer with a faster Internet connection. Using WipeDrive I was able to get rid of all the junk I no longer needed along with any virus/spyware issues. Hey, you fixed both of those! Geeky guys at the computer store, you have to refund me!.
