wipefile feature?
Gene Chismar
determine if it has the ability to over-write unused diskspace, using
the U.S. DoD over-write standard.
We are currently using Norton Wipeinfo, but it doesn't work on
Pentium II processor based PC's (it simply starts the process and
hangs-up.)
Any suggestions?
I've tried to use NYEOW95 to do this, but it doesn't seem to be able
to perform this function.
I'd like to find something similar to BestCryptNP, but we need to use
a U.S. software manufacturer.
I look forward to hearing from you.

I've tested that particular feature of secure file wipe, in YEO. It
does perform as advertised.
However; I have an additonal requirement to over-write disk space
which does not have anything written on it, using the DoD over-write
specification.
Can YEO do this?

David;
Can you tell me where I can get a copy of NU v.8.0 (DOS/WINDOWS
3.1x)?
I checked with a few retail stores, in the area. They don't carry
it.

David;
I just checked out Norton Utilities v.8.0 (we had a copy.)
This version of wipeinfo, for wiping unused disk space, does not work
on a Pentium II processor based PC (it hangs.)
Do you have any further suggestions?

David;
The problem that I am having with Norton Utility v.8.0 ( for
DOS/WINDOWS 3.1x) is that it will not function on a Pentium II based
PC (it hangs.)
Any other suggestions?

Hi Gene,
Thanks again for re posting. You may want to boot off of a 6.22 boot
disk and try it!
