Solved Does Using DBAN Render Hard Drive Unusable?

  • 0

I have used DBAN to nuke drives before getting ridding of them of them for recycle. My question is after using DBAN, can the drive still be used to reinstall windows. I have a computer that is very slow, even after reinstaling windiws, so I was thinking of nuking the drive first, and then trying to reinstall to see if it makes any difference.

      DBAN, just so you know, does not make the hard drive unusable, but it does make the data on it unrecoverable. Basically zero filling the hard drive, but they have patterns and what not you can select to overwrite the drive multiple times.

      To err is human but to really screw things up, you need a computer!
