    DBAN finished with non-fatal errors Optiplex GX745

    try using a different version or try using the latest beta. I've found that whatever problem I've encountered it usually becomes a non-problem if I use another version...i have 1.0.6, 1.0.7, beta 2007042900 and 2007041900 on hand and one of them usually does the trick.

    DBan Error Message - autonuke only

    try using another version of dban...I have ver 1.0.7, 1.0.6, beta 2007042900 and beta 2007041900 and they all seem to perform differently with different drives...overall, I have found beta 200702900 to be the best one yet...

    Am a little worried

    try the latest DBAN beta release...the version you are using does not agree with your system, unless your hdd has 'broken' sectors which , in my experience is not uncommon on WD drives... u should be getting about 20-30MB/sec (20,000 - 30,000 KB/sec) when DBAN is honkin' along smoothly

    Speeding up dnab

    Or you could get a PCI IDE card and tack 4 hdds in that way, that's my latest upgrade now i can do 14 drives at time, but then I am a DBAN fiend Did 100 wipes using PRNG on a couple of 80GBdrives, took 3 days but it was worth it haha!

    Does additional RAM make DBAN run any faster?

    i tried dban with 256MB, 512MB and 784MB in my comp and it made no noticable difference

    Speeding up dnab

    the latest dban beta has usb support (hooray!!!!!) and many modern computers have 4 or more usb2 ports each of which can be plugged in to an hdd with a suitable adapter and wiped as if they were internal...thanks to the usb support i can now wipe 9 drives at a time 3 internally and 6 on usb...
