Arduinosoft Permawipe: Cleaning Tool to Permanently Wipe Drive Contents before Reinstallation of the Operating System

Purchased this software to wipe out old hard drives. works perfectly! everything cleared as it said it would do with no issues. very straight forward. Thank you!

As advertised, the program did the job I bought it for. I still have two lap tops to clean and then dispose of. I was a little slow figuring out how to adjust the start-up sequence in the BIOS, and although the company offers help via email, two messages sent to the company have yet to be answered. Not a big thing, but keeps me from rating more than 4 stars. The final result is what the company says it will be, and I feel confident that I can dispose of my collection of old hardware safely.

Don’t waste your money on this it doesn’t work

Even though I am Microsoft Certified, this took a bit of work. It was not simply a matter of changing Boot Order to have the CD Drive be first. For my HP Desktop I had to hit F10 repeatedly to get to that menu. Then I had to DISABLE Smart Boot and ENABLE Legacy Support in Secure Boot Configuration. After doing this, the machine booted as needed!!!! (your machine will undoubtedly vary, so just be patient and look for something resembling this).After 65 minutes in AUTO mode, it was done!!!! Reset the menus and reload or sell your machine.

I used Disk Wiper to clean the hard drive on an old Dell B110 Dimension desktop. It took about two hours to do the job. Also, I've used this product to clean up a Dell Inspiron 660s desktop. In order to clean this computer, I had to go into the Bios using the F2 key to disable the boot sequence. Rebooted the computer and started clean up. The job on this computer took overnight to complete. Overall, Disk Wiper is a very functional product.

I'm sure I'll be able to use it, but it doesn't work on XP. It will be a valuable tool in the future I am sure.

Did not come with good instructions at all, only one computer I used it on was appropriate for. There are way too many variables & variations for use. If you do not know the inner workings of a computer, don’t buy. I got it to work, not easy.

Works well, however, I have owned many similar products in the past. Use only if you really intend to wipe your disks.
