As to newly bought hard disk, you need to partition and format it first so that it can be used to store data. If the formatted disk is a boot drive, you will have to reinstall Windows operating system. Thus, disk reformatting might be a drastic, as it wipes all data and you need to restore important data from backup afterwards. The process of reformatting a hard drive removes all information and data on the disk.

However, DBAN is a quick and easy way to wipe it all. I wouldn't trade it in for hardly anything. The SATA converter has saved my bum countless times already with recovering data when Windows would spaz out.


You could boot to a DBAN CD and wipe it that way.

Then, you can actually format it from within Windows, just make sure you are selecting the correct drive when you attempt to format :) From here you can easily recover files before formatting the hard drive. You can now browse that drive as if it were any regular USB drive. Hook up the hard drive to your computer via USB. If you don't already have one, buy an IDE/SATA USB converter (less than $20). I would see if you can find the discs that came with the pc, or like other people have said use a live cd, or there are other tools like Hirens, or bart pe discs you can use. This is why it is good to create recovery discs and to keep the discs each pc comes with.

Most likely your BSOD is coming because of a driver conflict, or you have the wrong xp disc. I am awaiting your response, and thanks in advance. But no luck.Īny ideas on how to wipe this hdd? Since it had such a nasty virus, I'd like to avoid taking it out and connecting it to another PC. I have restarted and tried the Setup Menu, the Boot Menu, the Diagnostics, and even tried spamming F8 so I could try to open windows w/ command prompt. I just want to wipe the hard drive clean, but now I can't even get into windows or into the CMD. I am trying to install a new copy of windows, but when I put in the install disk and boot from CD I get a Blue Screen of Death everytime. I have a computer that was WTFPWND by the 'System Restore Virus'.
