There are 7 erasing types to choose from including the quick zero fill, random fill and GOST 2 pass (1 zero, 1 random) methods, and the slower British HMG, DOD 5220 and Gutmann methods. The program will also format the drive before wiping because it works faster if it does so, FAT16, FAT32 and NTFS can be chosen.

Hardwipe works on Windows XP SP2 and above.ĭisk Wipe is an easy to use and standalone portable utility that works with hard drives, USB sticks and memory cards etc, and is able to erase them using a variety of different methods. Auto throttling could be useful and reduces wiping speed if it detects the computer is being used or there is mouse / keyboard activity. The erase can be verified and the computer can be shutdown after the wiping completes. There are 6 erasing methods zero fill, random fill (default), GOST R 50739-95 (2 pass), DOD 5220.22-M (3 pass), Schneier (7 pass) and the fully paranoid Gutmann 35 pass method. To select a volume click the Wipe drive button on the left and select the drive or partition to sanitize. The program has also gained advertising in its main window in the latest release which isn’t too distracting thankfully. Since we last looked at Hardwipe it has gained the welcome addition of an official portable version although the small trade off is you don’t get the right click Explorer context menu options found in the installer version which allows you to wipe selected files, drives or free space at the click of the button. Hardwipe has quite a few useful features and in addition to erasing drives or partitions completely, it can also securely erase files, folders and the drive’s remaining free space. Disk Wipe also works on floppy disks and USB pen sticks and is compatible with Windows 95 and above. Simply select whether you want to blank the drive with zero’s or random data and enter the number of passes in the box, then click the button to erase. The program is a tiny portable executable of around 50K and can overwrite partitions or physical discs selectable from the drop down menu. $DiskPartFile = "X:\Windows\Temp\DiskpartConfig.Roadkil has many little useful tools and Disk Wipe is just about as easy and simple to operate as they come. Hold Power Button until device powers off to cancel. $Button = $Shell.Popup("Proceeding will wipe all local data from all local drives.

The command for the PreStart script that I used was:Ĭmd /C PowerShell.exe -ExecutionPolicy ByPass -File PreStart.ps1Īnd the PowerShell code contained with PreStart.ps1 is shown below: if it’s different to the boot image on the USB).

After creating the Diskpart configuration file, it then runs Diskpart referencing the configuration file in order to create suitably-sized/lettered partitions to successfully boot from using UEFI and that are also accessible for the Task Sequence to download and pre-stage the latest Boot Image if it’s required (i.e. It creates a Diskpart configuration text file on the fly in the ‘X:\Windows\Temp’ folder of the running WinPE. The script runs before the Task Sequence begins.

I worked around this by creating a PowerShell PreStart script and adding it to the Boot Media ISO image. If the boot images don’t match then SCCM attempts to pre-stage onto the local disk and fails as the OSDisk is unavailable due to it being encrypted with BitLocker (the drive appears as “RAW” and cannot be accessed) and none of the other partitions are large enough or available.
Using devices in UEFI mode with BitLocker enabled makes this tricky when the Boot Image associated with the Task Sequence becomes out of sync with the Boot Image on the USB media. A customer recently had a requirement for rebuilds to be done in remote sites via USB flash drives configured as SCCM Bootable Media due to a lack of local SCCM Distribution Points and PXE Boot capability.
