Hi Overwriter, It's getting a bit technical for me now but thanks for doing the tests and getting back to me. I've run it on NTFS and FAT32. No, I haven't tried looking for WIP files, I'll try that next time, thanks! A few years ago before I'd even heard of utility software like...

Hi Overwriter, I too have East Tec Eraser 2007. As you know my main objective with these erase programs is to grab back some space. I found that ETE 2007 worked fine for me on my PC running Vista but on another PC running XP I lost disk space after the erase. I was unable to find the TMP...
