drive wipe will not work.

I have used the drive wipe before without any problems. Tonight I tried to wipe a 1.5T and keep getting an error message. It keeps telling me cc cleaner has encountered a problem but does not give me an error message.

The only info I have is Exception Info code 0x000000d Flags 0x00000000 record 0x00000000000000000 Address 0x000000000044fc17. I don't know if that means anything or not. I was trying to erase all data and only 1 pass although I would prefer 3-7 passes. I am running windows xp, up to date on patches. This hd is located in an external enclosure. Is there a solution for this problem?
