Editorial Review: Product Description: Disk Purge is the perfect solution for completely erasing your hard drive. If you are selling, donating, returning, or recycling your computer, Disk Purge protects your identity removes personal information from your hard drive. When deleting files and formatting a hard drive, the information stays on the disk -- and can easily recovered by many software programs. 93% of all used computers contain private information about their previous owners - including credit card and social security numbers, bank account information, medical and tax records, and personal emails. Disk Purge erases ALL types of hard drives of ANY size - the entire drive or a partition. Works on Windows 95, 98, Me, XP, NT, 2000 and Linux systems. Works even if your computer is missing or has an unstable operating system Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Watch outI am a professor who has been using computers for about 25 years. I bought Disk Purge because it was the least expensive. They don't mention that using it on older models, one has to create a floppy boot disk. During this process bad things can happen. In the case of my laptop, the computer shut down and subsequently will only power up for about 5 seconds. Tabernus tech support did the predicable; it was my computer, it was the battery, but it could not possibly be there wonderful software. ...

The hard disk will not recognize fdisk or format c: using the start up disk. The C: drive is history. The computer guru's at Best Buy couldn't fix the problem and my e-mails to Tabernus went unanswered. Rating:  - Disk Purge works wellWe recently got a new computer and sent our old one back to Dell for recycling. Before mailing it we wanted to get all sensitive material off the hard drive. The Tabernus Disk Purge seemed to do the job quite well. The only fault I can find with it is that you can not purge individual items on the drive and leave the rest for the next user. Rating: - It wipes your hard drive clean, but...It wipes your hard drive clean, but if you never used a computer without the assistance of an operating system, you have a learning experience ahead of you. The supplied instructions are inadequate. You need the maker's online explanations to get the job done. So, unless you have another computer available, get the online info before you start using the hardware. Rating: - Wipe CapabilityYou can't wipe just the free space on a partition or drive with this. It will only wipe the entire partition or disk. |
