wipe free space : Or this:BCWipe:After installation;The BCWipe option in the windows drop down menu will be "Delete with wiping"when used to wipe folders/file(s). The BCWipe option in the windows dropdown menu will be "Wipe free space" when used to wipe the free space on adisk. You can use BCWipe to wipe the free space on a disk (either "Normal",usually 1 pass (default, changeable) , or a more secure 7 pass "U.S. DoD",then click "Options" to select; "Wipe of swap file", "Wipe file slack", and"Wipe empty directory names". Set options by clicking "Options" afterselecting "Wipe free space". Caveat here: Many experts will advise that ANYwipe of the swap file that is run under windows should not be relied on asbeing totally effective.Get BCWipe here: Go here to read the results of an ongoing Erase/Shred/Wipe utility test.and click on "Disk and File Shredders: A Comparison". wipe free space : This is a good point, cos I just deleted a HUGE 4+GIG file frommy drive last night. It was called wipe2c2.tmp and I have no cluewhere it came from. Seems V. odd though. and must have been therefor a while cos my drives been full for a while ;)Point is, I reckon it must`ve came from my Scramdisk freespacewipe. Which raises the question : What the hell is it ? Since ithas the .tmp extension is implies that its either a temp storefor data to be encrypted ( wiped ) or just a huge block of randomdata - although I`m nowhere near knowledgeable - or arrogant -enough to assume this is correct. I tried changing it to a .txtfile to open in wordpad , but at 4 gig Windoze managed to crashbefore it could import all the data ( go figure ! ).If it is related to scramdisk wipe though, I find it a littleconcerning that it should leave a huge block of, frankly,suspicious data lying there ! wipe free space : "urrrrgh , arrrrrgh", went the camel."Iknow", said the handler, "I know".* Sent from RemarQ The Internet's Discussion Network *The fastest and easiest way to search and participate in Usenet - Free!I have f/d 1.44 mb that has been wiped 3x under PGP, no "expert" in forensicdata recovery like to prove they skills, knowledge, expertise by recovering it...you are making statements that pgp wipe is unsafe ...PGP is an encryption program with general file wiping facilitiesadded.Wiping three times is hardly enough. With the proper equipment you can readaround 15-20 generations back. There are also problems with the read/write headnot aligning correctly all the times, making it possible to read "leftover" data.Also, if you're using a hard disk that automatically reassigns bad blocks there'sno way erasing that data except destroying the disk completely. wipe free space : I did try to wipe free space on a FAT-floppy and on a WinNT4(SP4) NTFS-drive (400MB free of 2GB). On both it worked fine.When I try to Wipe Free Space on a drive on my Windows 2000 (build2195), the program comes no further than creating the PGPwipepattern.tmp(being 32K) and the message "Scanning drive ...".From that point on the drive is constantly accessed but even after 5minutes it does not start writing/skipping clusters.All other programs keep functioning, what I expect from W2K :-).The Cancel button also did not work anymore so I had to stop PGPToolsusing the TaskManager. The free space on the (2GB) drive concerned is424MB.My first conclusion is that PGPTools seems to be stuck in a system callto the file system.My questions:Has anybody an idea what might be wrong?Is it a local problem? Is it a PGPTools problem?Is it a W2K problem? wipe free space : Sun, 2 Apr 2000 23:41:44 demon.ip.support.turnpike Ad von Reeken One thing I can be fairly certain about is that it isn't a TP problem.The groups where you ought to approach this can be quite daunting so Isuppose I'm not offering much help.Ask in the right group. I know that might appear rude but I think it isthe best advice.I felt a strong urge to react when I read that Wm ... wrote in demon.ip.support.turnpike in thread "No Wipe Free Space on Win2K":Dear Wm ...I completely agree with this.Maybe I may explain why I did send the question to this group. I see nowthat that I did not make that clear in my first posting. Sorry aboutthat.Why did I post in d.i.s.t.?The Wipe Free Space program comes with the latest release of Turnpike. Iknow that this does not mean that the Turnpike experts may know theanswer but this group is read by a lot of people who have the samePGPTools program as I am working with. So I thought: maybe any of thosereaders may have noticed the same behaviour and could give me anyadvice, help or hints.Hope your not to mad at me now anymore :-)
