universal usb installer not finding iso dban

If you have a heavy duty virus that you're trying to remove the only other option is to go out and buy a new disk drive and take a hammer to the current old one.

SUMMARY: There is so much variance between hardware/software systems, all spread over time, it would appear that one must sequentially try these DBAN versions until one works. NOTE: On the HP dv7-6185 laptop there is no option in the bios to disconnect the 'media' drive. The HP 'wipe' is going on as I type and has more than twice as much disk size to cover as the 9 hour run Dell disk. Have not tried the 2007 beta version on the Dell Inspiron 1420, as the earlier 'wipe' took over 9 hours and I'm tapped out, energy-wise. However, after a long, multi-second pause it goes forward to do the wipe.ĥ. It is a bit alarming, though, that after entering 'autonuke' and watching all the messages come up on the screen the computer cursor then seems to 'hang' below the last message line, 'USB', and the whole system seems to stop. Subsequently downloaded and created CD disk for 'dban-beta2007042900-i386.zip'. That then gave me, on the (same) HPdv7, the message, 'DBAN finished with non-fatal errors', after about 5 seconds of running. Kept getting, 'Reading sectors error (EDD)' message, repeated over and over again.ģ. Used the same CD in an attempt to wipe my wife's HP dv7 Win7 laptop w/ no success. Had to disable the media reader in the bios, though, or it wouldn't work - only way to remove the notorious 'PCI (sysfs)' message.Ģ. I used Dban 2.2.6_i586 to wipe my Dell Inspiron 1420 Win Vista laptop machine. [b'PCI (SYSFS)'-> 'Reading sectors error (EDD)'-> 'DBAN finished with non-fatal errors'-> 'UBS' 'hang'ġ.
