    Which version for erasing XP free space

    You should use Eraser 5.86. The failure notice will probably just be windows locked files. This is nothing to worry about.

    Physical Drive Vs. C:

    Hi :) I am guessing that you only have one hard drive installed and you are using some sort of recovery software. C and physical drive 0 are the same drive. The other files you see may be in the host protected area (which are files you want to keep). CCleaner is probably more suited to...

    freeze after 6 seconds of overwriting

    Visual Basic Problem Trying to Install Eraser
