fadsarmy Posted September 22, 2010 Share Posted September 22, 2010 How can you tell when the drive has been completely erased? There is no indicator of activity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shivan Posted September 23, 2010 Share Posted September 23, 2010 I had the problem as well. I waited for quite a while, then I checked the instructions in the sticky thread again, and it said that the window will close after the erase is finished. So it must have finished after a very short time. I also had the trouble that the booting process from the CD would hang several times and only continue after I pressed some key. Weird. If I have to erase my disk again, I will try to find another software. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yellowbeard Posted September 23, 2010 Share Posted September 23, 2010 The window disappeared after 2 seconds. Surely the erase takes longer than that? No, it's insanely fast. The built in secure erase takes very little time to execute. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted September 23, 2010 Corsair Employees Share Posted September 23, 2010 You can run the partition tool and see if there anything on the drive if not then it has been erased. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
