• Doesn't Work at all

  tomzzz99May 29, 2012

  Pros

  None at all. Waste of a good CD-R and my time.

  Cons

  1) NOT for floppy disks. 2) Runs while you select options, then bombs when you try to execute.

  Summary

  Your luck may vary, but mine was bad.

• Ideal for a small, bootable floppy-based solution

  Trane FrancksDecember 21, 2010

  Pros

  Super simple to use. Variety of wipe methods.

  None encountered.

  If you need to reliably wipe a system disk from a floppy boot disk, THIS will do the job beautifully. (Tested version was 1.0.0.)

• Gets the job done

  why1991November 13, 2009

  Pros

  It is great for wiping any system with any problem, and writes over everything with 0's

  Cons

  Writing over tons of 0's obviously takes a long time so a long process will be expected, but it's well worth it

  Summary

  Just to biztastic who previously commented, this is a program that is intended to allow a user to wipe their computer from a flashdrive/floppy disk, and not to wipe your flash drive. If you would like to wipe your flash drive just highlight everything in it and right-click/delete it. This program is NOT a virus, and works great

• It does what it says it does, DBAN destroys data.

  orion3672November 1, 2009

  Pros

  It will destroy all data on a hard-disk beyond (or nearly beyond) the capabilities forensic analysis. I use Derik's Boot and Nuke when I buy used computers from thrift stores or elsewhere.

  Cons

  Can take several hours to a few days.

  Summary

  The bottom line is: If you are getting rid of, or aquiring a used computer, use DBAN. I mean, you could go for Evidence Eliminator, but you would have to pay $150 and EE is just a scam anyway. This is the real deal, just read the first review, lol.

• Very Misleading Title!!

  biztasticSeptember 23, 2009

  Pros

  This title is very misleading, it says it is for use ON Usb and floppy drives, and says it is FOR floppy disks and USB. I highly require a USB nuker and thought this was it, and nuked my hard drive thinking it was nuking my USB drive.

  Cons

  Basically this is a virus with a friendly title

  Summary

  DO NOT DOWNLOAD THIS if you need to nuke a USB or Floppy!! THIS WILL DESTROY YOUR HARD DRIVE DATA.
