Strings Posted October 18, 2018 Share Posted October 18, 2018 My PC keeps crashing, and tech support tells me I have to return it. So I'm using disk wiper to wipe my PC. The problem is because it keeps crashing, it's having a hard time getting through it. Finally, it got through to 100% on the C drive, and then it automatically started over, this time telling me exactly how many files it's gone through at a time. And this time it's going to take four more days. The first one through took about 7 hours. During that first pass, was it even writing over my files? If it doesn't make it through to 100% again, has it done no good for me? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Andavari Posted October 22, 2018 Moderators Share Posted October 22, 2018 Possibly a disk error causing it. Rather this helps or not try running chkdsk /r on the drive using either Command Prompt or Windows PowerShell with Admin privileges. Depending upon the drive capacity it can take several hours to complete. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
