I am considering selling a camera along with several Compact Flash and XD cards:as I have no wish for a buyer to open all my family and holiday photos I'd like to securely erase each card.
The cards have already been re-formatted but I can at present recover files using Recuva.
I have tried to erase using Eraser but failed: this is the first time I have used the program.
Can anyone give me the correct sequence of actions to achieve success.
Tried to date:
New Task > Add Data > Files in Folder: uncheck Erase Folder if empty > Browse > Removable Disk (I
> Tasks execute manually > (I right click > run now.
When this failed I thought OK, no files visible, so I used > Unused Disk Space > Disk (I, checked Erase Cluster Tips > Run now. I got message to run as Administrator.
Closed Eraser > Right Clicked the Program > Clicked Run as Administrator and repeated the last (Unused space) action. I still had the same message 'to run as Administrator'.
