    Use to work. Now newer versions just throw back DBAN finished with non-fatal errors. I guess you have to pay now to get the work feature.

    Too many bugs: kernel panics, the program that ends after a few minutes when a normal wipe takes days, ecc.ecc. I cannot see other development since 2007

    Program rejected my nearly new WD64000AAKS with single NTFS partition suggesting that the disk may have bad sectors (that's only after 10 sec or so of "thinking", definitely not enough to scan the disk). The disk does not have any bad sectors according to any diagnostic program I ran on it (Linux's 'badblocks', Seagate's long test, etc.). Even if the disk had bad sectors (my definitely does not), why not wipe the rest clean?
