Don't use DBAN. It hasn't been maintained in nearly a decade. Use DBAN's successor, ShredOS https://github.com/PartialVolume/shredos.x86_64 which is fully updated and works with the vast majority of old and new hardware.

To resolve the issue where DBAN (Darik's Boot and Nuke) won't run after the boot prompt screen, one possible approach is to try running a bright white screen test, like the one provided by White Screen.. This can help you identify any display-related issues, such as dead pixels or uneven backlighting, that might be interfering with DBAN's display. If the screen test doesn't reveal any issues, it may be necessary to troubleshoot other hardware or software problems related to DBAN's boot process. Any...

Hi. I've successfully used DBAN on one of my old laptops, but I'm having trouble getting it to work on another one. The laptop boots from the USB flash drive, and I know the DBAN copy is good because it worked on the first laptop. However, no matter which option I choose (autonuke, dodshort, etc.), it only shows a brief message at the bottom saying "loading dban.bzi......" before going to a blank black screen. I can power off the laptop using the hardware button and restart it, which boots back into...

Ran the software with dodshort (default), selected the drive and it ran (successfully it said), completed with no errors. When I rebooted everthing was still there. The disk had Windows 10 Pro and was installed on an SSD Gigabyte memory card 512GB.

I tried DBAN 2.3.0 to wipe a Lenovo T480s laptop and got an error. A solution was to try the older version. I tried the older version 2.2.8 and used the Autonuke and got the following error: Disks not found. DBAN could need a driver for this computer. Is there a solution for this?

I have several (about 10 old dell computers that I started using back some over 18 years ago. I want to donate them but want to remove and destroy all the hard drives. I have found information on the internet on how to do this (at 79 years of age, I need to do this myself if possible). My issue is that these are very old computers with windows back to '95 and i don't even know if they will boot up. So am I going to be able to use the boot & nuke software program you speak of?

Looks like you've got the ISO mounted as a virtual drive. Look in your My Computer window, you might see you have an extra drive like E: or F: Right-click the drive, you should now have an "Unmount" option You'll be able to delete the ISO then.

It appears that DBAN is encountering an issue when trying to start with all 12 disks, but it works fine when you remove 3 disks (SDD and SAS). It completes the process without errors but doesn't actually begin the wiping process. Please provide additional information once you have completed the process with the 9 disks for further troubleshooting.

That is perfect, happy it worked for you. Nwipe will safely delete your hard drive to different industry guidelines. No information of any sort will be left including the working framework. So make certain to reinforcement any information you should keep prior to beginning the wipe, as there will not be anything to recuperate once the wipe finishes.

Hopefully there was nothing you needed on that SSD as it sounds like you weren't expecting DBAN to write to the SSD. As the speed is 19377 KB/s ( 19.3 MB/S ). That's pretty slow for a SSD ! I've got a feeling DBAN may not sync the drive periodically so if it comes across an error the throughput goes really low, i.e as in 19 MB/S and it appears to hang in that the percentage completed freezes. Technically DBAN will wipe a SSD but not in the recommended way using the drives own firmware. Known as a...

Update from 4 days ago. I was totally unsuccessful at getting a windows installation disk to be read because all boot drive options were erroneously and foolishly deleted. So, I thought, why don't I try DBAN again? Sure enough, the computer read that disk! Of course, although the drive was wiped, it will still take many many hours to see the outcome. I am just posting this in the event that someone else made the same series of errors as I did.

Yes sir, it is harder on the disks (because of the multi-pass erasure) but if you have sensitive information on those disks it's smarter to use DBAN then to just throw them away or give them away to a recycling center or otherwise. If you use DBAN, even on the quick erase setting; it's much more effective then physical destruction.

Instead DBAN runs the Mersenne Twister PRNG irrespective of the PRNG option chosen. In...

I was having a similar issue and found that Dban does not work with ssds. Is it possible the hard drives you are trying to wipe are ssds? Instead I used Shred OS which can be found here: https://github.com/PartialVolume/shredos.x86_64/blob/master/README.md#obtaining-and-writing-shredos-to-a-usb-flash-drive-the-easy-way-

You additionally need a burn software, in case you burn casually with double clicking on the iso report app, it burns wrong. I had numerous burn packages however simplest CDBurnerXP worked for me.

Hi There, First time here...I tried searching forum but did not find this exact issue... DBAN seems to work fine until I have the USB drive I want to wipe connected. I know it has bad sectors...is there any way to work around this??? Attached is the errors and resulting page after DBAN fully loads showing no drive names. THANKS in advance!!!! Dave Ro

I wanted to use DBAN to wipe several external drives. However, I mounted it directly from the downloads folder. Not only could I not get it to work for the external drives, now it won't unmount. As can be seen in the screenshot, it says that it is running in system. I tried using the Taskmanager to end it after rebooting, that didn't work. I also am very afraid that it will delete my hard drive. Does anyone know how to unmount and delete it off of my hard drive...? TIA
