This advice is correct, and you probably found the correct option for enabling USB keyboard support in DBAN. The DBAN 1.0.x releases requires that USB keyboards remain in legacy compatibility mode. If the change won't stick until the DBAN blue screen starts, then start DBAN at the black...

DBAN will report "failed" if it can see the bad sectors, but it will try to finish the wipe. Note that disks with bad sectors are often wiped very slowly.

No.

DBAN probably doesn't have a driver for your motherboard chipset. Use another product, or wait for the DBAN beta release.

The CRC error indicates that the memory or CPU in this computer is bad. When these parts fail entirely, you'll probably lose some data.

Are you having problems with DBAN and a specific disk? Provide manufacturer and model information.

The computer is crashing and rebooting into Microsoft Windows. This is usually caused by bad memory. Download the Memtest86+ utility and run it on this computer. DBAN will not run reliably if the memory diagnostic reports any bad lines.

Contact Techway for a Sun Sparc solution.

Ask this question in the Eraser forum.

DBAN is known to be slow on computers with the Intel 945 chipset. A driver for this hardware will be in the next DBAN release. Until then, use a different product to wipe these computers.

Yes.

Verify errors mean that the hard disk is bad. Physically destroy it.

Read this two documents http://www.dban.org/faq/CDBurnerXP.html http://www.dban.org/download/readme.txt and then describe what confuses you. The documentation will then be fixed.

The current DBAN release does not recognize external USB disks. A potential solution is to create an empty filesytem on the external disk and run a freespace wipe with Heidi Eraser.

DBAN 1.0.7 is the current release. Please upgrade to the current release before making a support request. http://sourceforge.net/project/showfile ... _id=439240
