I have a new HP box with an "ATAPI DVD A DH16A"
hard drive. DBAN appears to not work on it.
Can someone recommend software to test and
clear it?

Thanks,
Mike.

Hi Michael
what do you mean by DVD hard drive?
A DVD is an optical device but not a hard drive!
Please clarify your question.
What problems/error messages do you have?

Hi Michael
why do you want to clear a fresh DVD media?
Please be more specific by your problem description.
