Hard Drive Eraser 2.0

Hard Drive Eraser 2.0 is an advanced and intelligent tool for erasing hard drive volumes and partitions in a way that data can not be recovered. It uses powerful algorithms with multiple passes to assure permanent data removal. Hard Drive Eraser does not contain adware, it is released under General Public Licence and it is free for personal and commercial usage.

Usage

The usage of Hard Drive Eraser is very simple. You pick a drive you want to erase, choose a shredding scheme (an algorithm used for shredding) and file system, and press "Start" to execute drive erasing. You can only erase a hard drive, or partition which is not used as a system partition from within the program is running. To further explain, if you have a C: as you system disk or partition you can only erase D, E, F etc. partitions. If you want to erase C partition, the one where operating system reside, you would have to access it from the other instance of operating system from other partition, or preferably take out the drive from the computer, connect it to another computer and erase it from there. One hard drive can have more than one partition, and if you want to erase the whole hard drive you should erase all its partitions.

Major Features:

1. Securely erases whole volumes, disk drives, partitions or floppy drives.
2. Overwrites data multiple times using one of four advanced algorithms which assure erased data can not be recovered.
3. Works with all file systems (NTFS, FAT32, FAT).
4. Simple, light weight and optimized for speed.
5. Peter Guttman method for users paranoidly concerned about security of their data.
