Erasing Logical Drives (Partitions)
In all previous examples in this chapter, the process has removed data from a
physical drive. Using a similar method, you can erase logical disks and
partitions, and even “Unallocated” areas where partitions existed and the area
was damaged, or the area is not visible by the current operating system.
Open the DOS Interactive Mode screen and follow the steps below.
-
The Detected Physical Devices screen appears as below:
Figure 3-6 Detected Physical Devices
All system hard drives and floppy drives will be displayed in the left pane
along with their system information in the right pane.
-
Position the cursor over the logical disk or on the Unallocated area.
-
Press [Enter] to securely remove data.
After operation is completed successfully, information on how drives have been
erased is displayed similar to the data below:
