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.
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...
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
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!
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...
