As I newbie I am having a problem using version 3.10 on my Vista desktop and on my Windows 7 64 laptop. I'll describe the Vista problem, the Windows 7 problem is similar. First I stop operation of my Norton anti virus and disconnect from the internet. Then I select drive wipe free space using the secure 3 pass option. It estimates a roughly 3 hour time period to wipe roughly 350,000 amount of free space. After a little over an hour of what appears to be normal progress, (about 34% into the job), it simply stops and returns me to the screen where I selected the free space wipe. There is no message giving me any feedback. Does anyone have any suggestions for fixing this?
I don't know why your cleaning acted that way, but this method always works for me. Note that I use one pass.
Try it.
Thank you kroozer. Your suggestion worked for my Vista desktop. I don't know why it works on my computer for 1 pass but not for 3. I can work around the problem by running the process 3 separate times.
