Nova Drive Erase Pro Reviews
Thank you. I was told that this is a great product, however, I couldn't get it to operate when my laptop crashed but I still feel it's a great product.
I purchased this software to erase a hard drive before donating the computer. It then said it couldn't erase the hard drive as configured, despite the fact that the BIOS showed that it was configured correctly for Drive Erase. It would not run with all of the many little programs that Windows opens running. I initially tried running this software from the hard drive after installing it. Don't waste your money on this software. I eventually purchased Webroot's Wndow Washer, which worked perfectly. I then created a boot disk from the software and used it to boot the computer.
It took less than an hour to do the entire process and have my old computer ready to give to someone to use for their children. This was a very simple process for someone who does not do this type of work on a regular basis. I feel very confident that all of our personal information is off of the hard drive.
Very little information included on reinstalling your operating system once you've used DriveErase to erase your hard drive. For the average PC user, the instruction manual could be more detailed. The instructions recommend which option to choose, depending on how the computer was used (home/office) and who will use it next (a friend, colleague or stranger). The software performed as promised, though, and offers several options, from fast/less-secure to extensive/super-secure.
It is this CD that one must be careful of (red = warning). One disc is wrapped in a red CD sleeve. The other disc is for loaded tools onto your operating system so that you can destroy internet traces, specific files, and removable media such as thumb and flash drives.
You can look at what your disk looks like after you have overwritten it with random characters or zeros. I have used BC Wipe and other similar tools for electronic media sanitization before a friend recommended this product. It is CLEARLY marked that if you insert this into the computer and reboot, it will ERASE your ENTIRE hard disk drive. I had several computer systems that needed to be tossed or donated.
If you are looking for an easy tool that will securely wipe your drive for disposal (donation, garage sale, auction, etc.). As a matter of fact, you have to proceed through several steps in the wizard after you reboot with the CD loaded before it actually wipes your drive. This product worked perfectly.
I am glad he did. You must tell it which disk (if you have more than one) and/or partition to wipe and with which method of destruction. One nice feature is the disk editor utility.
The software comes with two discs. It seems that perhaps others may not have read the directions or the warning banners in their entirety which were clearly displayed before their hard drives were wiped. this is a great tool for the money.
