Say, DBAN developers, if you need to use my machine to figure out what's going on, I'm happy to oblige But please fix this. Hey guys, I was wondering if this problem still persist because it happens to me too. Thanks in advance! I think it is something in the machine I am trying to wipe, but after changing away the UEFI and secure boot settings, I can say it doesn't seem to be that either.
We could really use a developer or other tech support specialist's help to solve this. Hi All! I too set the bios with Legacy mode enabled, and secure boot disabled. I then downloaded the DBAN 2. Where do I find this boot command line to edit? Same issue here. I have a powerful PC with Win 10 Enterprise. I had to boot from 2 versions older, 2. However, 2. I tried a lot of other disk wiper software.
They were either not working or not really free! For 1TB hard drive, 2. Sounds like DBAN must be a dead project since 2. Please read the FAQs below. You may be ignored in the forums or get a form letter from the support technician if you ask something that looks like a Frequently Answered Question.

Use another. The floppy media must be in perfect condition to reliably start DBAN. Why not now and why not by default? Some vendors are using the HPA instead of providing rescue media. How many disks can DBAN wipe concurrently? Most desktop computers will have a performance sweet-spot of four disks.
Is it supposed to take that much time? You can purchase a database of performance statistics from us to plan your consulting job. Why could DBAN be slow? The estimated runtime will get very large very quickly in this case. Old drivers. Try the latest posted beta or pre-release if the target computer was manufactured in the last six months. This procedure varies between RAID implementations. You must check whether DBAN actually detected all hard disks in a computer. Your hardware caches writes or otherwise does not implement a functional write barrier.
This is likely to happen with battery-backed large-memory RAID controllers or defective hard disks. Somebody with a lot of time, money, and brains needs to recover your data.

I've tried 2 different versions of DBAN. I've tried burning the iso with dd command in Ubuntu, using Disk Image Mounter and mkusb-dus. I've tried unmounting the USB flash drive before burning the iso. Is there any way to make it work?
I don't have windows, so my options for a hdd wipe program are limited. RealBeast Distinguished Moderator.
