4.0 out of 5 stars Now you see it, now you don't
Reviewed in the United States on August 3, 2017
As advertised, the program did the job I bought it for. I still have two lap tops to clean and then dispose of. I was a little slow figuring out how to adjust the start-up sequence in the BIOS, and although the company offers help via email, two messages sent to the company have yet to be answered. Not a big thing, but keeps me from rating more than 4 stars. The final result is what the company says it will be, and I feel confident that I can dispose of my collection of old hardware safely.

1.0 out of 5 stars DOES NOT WORK!
Reviewed in the United States on February 7, 2015
Unfortunately there is no negative star rating or I would give it. I purchased this product to wipe clean two Dell desktop computers running Windows XP so they could be donated. The instructions say to insert the CD, turn off the computer. Then turn on the computer & the wiping tool should load. It didn't. Apparently that was anticipated because the instructions then say to change the BIOS boot order to boot from the CDROM. I did and It still didn't load. No other options given, no phone number to call for help, nothing. I checked all the txt files on the CD to see if there was more information and there is not. It gives a link to www.dban.org and when I went there, that site totally disclaims any responsibility whatsover; it is totally buyer beware.
This was a total ripoff in my opinion.

5.0 out of 5 stars It works - but you need to know how to change Boot Order
Reviewed in the United States on January 3, 2020
Even though I am Microsoft Certified, this took a bit of work. It was not simply a matter of changing Boot Order to have the CD Drive be first. For my HP Desktop I had to hit F10 repeatedly to get to that menu. Then I had to DISABLE Smart Boot and ENABLE Legacy Support in Secure Boot Configuration. After doing this, the machine booted as needed!!!! (your machine will undoubtedly vary, so just be patient and look for something resembling this).

After 65 minutes in AUTO mode, it was done!!!! Reset the menus and reload or sell your machine.

5.0 out of 5 stars Unclear instructions. Too many variables
Reviewed in the United States on December 30, 2019
Did not come with good instructions at all, only one computer I used it on was appropriate for. There are way too many variables & variations for use. If you do not know the inner workings of a computer, don’t buy. I got it to work, not easy.

I used Disk Wiper to clean the hard drive on an old Dell B110 Dimension desktop. It took about two hours to do the job. Also, I've used this product to clean up a Dell Inspiron 660s desktop. In order to clean this computer, I had to go into the Bios using the F2 key to disable the boot sequence. Rebooted the computer and started clean up. The job on this computer took overnight to complete. Overall, Disk Wiper is a very functional product.

I'm sure I'll be able to use it, but it doesn't work on XP. It will be a valuable tool in the future I am sure.
