Is there a limit to the size of hard drive that DBAN can clean? I am trying to clean 160 GB Raid 1 drives on a Dell Dimension 8400 PC (3.4 GHz P4 processor). After almost 3 hours of running I received an error (unforunately I didn't write the error down). I rebooted and it's been running now for almost an hour and has reached 15%, round 1 of 1, pass 1 of 3.

Thanks.
 
It just failed again after about 90 minutes

The data on the screen reads:

Hope I entered all of that correctly.

Thanks for the verbose information. It helps.

This is usually caused by bad memory. Run the diagnostic from http://www.memtest.org/ on this computer.

The wipe may finish if you disable verification by pushing "v" at the blue interactive screen. Wipe this disk in another computer if possible.
 
Darik,

Want to make sure I understand your instruction on entering the "v". Is this after I've entered autonuke?

Thanks.
