Neil9011 Posted August 1, 2017 Share Posted August 1, 2017 I am using free version CCleaner v 5.3 .2 and my hard drive is a NTFS 500 GB ( ST500LT012-1DG142 ).My laptop has Windows 8.1 Single language with Bing which was already installed when bought new.I use Google Chrome v59 ( 64 bit ).My question or problem is that I have tried 3 times to do a Driver Wipe on my HD,but it only wipes 39% of the drive and I even left the driver wipe on during the night, but still only 39%.Why is this ?

Moderators mta Posted August 2, 2017 Moderators Share Posted August 2, 2017 just checking, but when using Drive Wipe are you selecting Free Space Only or Entire Drive? Backup now & backup often.It's your digital life - protect it with a backup.Three things are certain; Birth, Death and loss of data. You control the last.

Moderators Andavari Posted August 2, 2017 Moderators Share Posted August 2, 2017 Sometimes wiping free space, disk imaging, etc., can fail if the hard disk has errors. You could run ChkDsk on the hard disk to correct errors, note that in some instances to correct the errors ChkDsk /r has to be used. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
