stage, you can return to the previous stages to select other disks, partitions or
data destruction methods.
Insert the boot disk into the disk drive and boot from that disk (change the
order of boot devices in BIOS, if necessary).
To select a disk/partition, where you want to destroy data, click the
corresponding rectangle. A red mark in the upper right corner appears,
indicating that the disk/partition is selected. You can select any combination
of disks/partitions.
Next, select a data destruction method. Acronis Drive Cleanser utilizes a
number of the most popular data destruction methods, complying with
national standards including U.S. Standard DoD 5220.22-M. You may create
your own method in further wizard windows as well, or load a method from
an *.alg file.
In the next window, check carefully the final script of operations. After you
click Proceed, Acronis Drive Cleanser will start wiping the disk, indicating
the progress in the special window.
After the procedure is finished, you can estimate its result by reading and
displaying the data from the wiped disk/partition, using Acronis Disk Editor
tool. The picture you might see depends on the data destruction method. But
what you actually see are disk sectors filled with either zeros or random
symbols.
