  1. Actually it is a brand new drive...6 months old anyway. And this isn't the first drive it has done this to. So it actually seems to be a feature of CCleaner Free Space Wipe, not an accident of an old drive. It should not be corrupting the entire drive and the existing data on the drive - only the free space should be written over.
  2. If you are wiping the free space on a drive (in this case, a spare platter drive for large data amounts), but then cancel it before it completes, the entire drive becomes unreadable by Win7 and asks for a format. Under Disk Management, the file system type of the drive is reported as "RAW". Other software can be used to recover the contents of the disk (the non-free space data, the data which you wanted to keep), but obviously CCleaner shouldn't have created this situation in the first place. Again, the problem seems to arise when cancelling a "Wipe Free Space" (1 pass) procedure. It was about 90% finished.
