2017年1月23日 · But since DBAN's ISO file is less than 20MB in size, there is no reason not to be safe. In my case I went with 512MB. Step 4.1.2: Choose FAT as the file system. Step 5: Run Universal USB Installer. Step 5.1: Choose DBAN among the lists of available options. Step 5.2: Browse and select the previously downloaded DBAN ISO file as the source image.

2011年1月24日 · DBAN is simply a Linux-based bootable image that can be run from floppy, CD/DVD, or USB drive (and probably more) which runs in system memory from the media. Once started, it gives you the option of overwriting disk content with multiple different methods, including pseudo-randomly generated numbers, the Gutmann method, and the DoD methods.

2023年5月29日 · Hi, DBAN is no longer being maintained. What is the current alternative for it? I'm looking for something that is easy to use, free, and reliable.

2021年12月7日 · DBAN will make the data unusable. You should still be able to partition and format the drive to use it again. DBAN might, on a drive that is already very close to failure, provoke the final death throes and make a drive completely unusable, but that drive would have to have been pretty much nearly dead already.

2023年1月20日 · It is an absolute waste of time if you are just reinstalling your OS and doesn't gain you anything. Simply deleting your partitions or running diskpart with the clean command would instantly blow everything away. DBAN is only needed if your intent is to make data unrecoverable, such as when selling your computer.

2022年1月25日 · However the way that DBAN works is by looking for sectors on an HDD and writing random 1's and 0's to them. SSD's do not have sectors like an HDD in anyway. Now with that being said it seems to me that the data (pre DBAN) would still be recoverable given the way that most wiping software works for SSD's is by spiking voltage into the source/bit ...

2023年5月31日 · I want to wipe my hdd so i made a dban boot usb With legacy boot,i booted into it and typed autonuke After i pressed enter the screen went black(its still on) Is it taking its time to wipe that is disabled the screen or it something ese

That would amount to a single random overwrite pass in dban, except it probably takes longer as it has to encrypt actual data Now I don't know how useful or bunk they are, but many of the methods in dban prescribe many rewrites Ideally with the bitlocker method, you never wrote any unencrypted data to a drive over its lifetime

2023年11月29日 · DBAN is honestly a bit outdated by now, AFAIK it can’t natively boot on a UEFI system. One workaround is to go into your BIOS and enable CSM before booting DBAN. Just remember to disable it again afterwards. Also, you shouldn’t use DBAN on SSDs. It won’t guarantee a secure erase on SSDs and will just waste a lot of write cycles. Edit:

DBAN, as a specialized drive wiping tool has a more sophisticated random number generator, and supports various wiping patterns, including a few that are compliant with DoD regulations for wiping sensitive data.
