I have tried without a deep scan and it is no different; also there were no limitations in terms of memory
-
Does this message - which I have never come across before - apply to the file you're trying to overwrite? Yes
Whether it does or not run a normal scan (the message should not be present with a normal scan) and attempt a secure overwrite on a random file. I have tried overwrites on all sort of files whether there is sufficient memory or not; I will try again
If that's OK then close any other applications so you have enough memory for this message not to appear on a deep scan. Then try the secure overwrite.

SSD or HDD ? I don't have any information on this - I thought they were a reference to folders etc
NTFS or FAT32 ?I don't have any information on this - I thought they were a reference to folders etc
Also what sort of XP,
Home / Pro ? Home
SP3 ? SP3

One file that I have just attempted to overwrite was in the C drive. In the info window the only other info is 'No overwritten clusters detected'.
-
I am doing everything that you suggest; the only variation is that after the 'Overwritten x files in x seconds' is that there are no further entries in the box
-
Probably another indication of things not functioning as they should
-
Unfortunately there are no any other comments that are made
-
It is both photos and videos that I have attempted to overwrite on 2 separate laptops. When in thumbnail mode, I have attempted to overwrite a photo it just says 0 files overwritten in 0.9 seconds. I attempted one in the llist view and it showed the file to be in an 'excellent state'. I tried to secure overwrite and it came up with the same comment '0 files overwritten'. There is also the comment - 'no overwritten clusters detected' as stated previously. Thanks

For example I have selected a video which is in an 'excellent state'. I tried to secure overwrite and it came up with the same comment '0 files overwritten'. There is also the comment - 'no overwritten clusters detected'. There were videos that I tried to over write previously and they have the comment 'unrecoverable / ran out of memory'.

I request a deep scan. It happens to all files. The files that I want to delete have an image and therefore must have some byte capacity. The message is 0 files overwritten. Thanks
-
yes - the files are not in the MFT and there is no administrator rights as such that I can see
-
I have the same problem as described here. I select the files to be overwritten and then the software states 0 files overwritten; I have rescanned and the files are still there. I am using XP. Your assistance would be appreciated.
Secure Overwrite
