Secure Erase Utility
Q 1 : Why is the Secure Erase Utility application taking a long
time to open?
A 1 : The software tries to detect all disks connected to the system when it
is launched. This may require a few minutes, depending on the
hardware platform and the number of disks connected to the system.
Q 2
: Why doesn’t the Secure Erase Utility automatically launch when I
boot
from a USB disk into DOS?
A2 : There are a number of reasons why this could happen, but the
problem
is easily remedied by following the steps below:
1.
If the Secure Erase Utility does not automatically start after restarting
the computer, you may be presented with a DOS screen.
Because the Boot Priority has been set to the USB drive first, the
USB disk is detected as drive C. The executable files and data files
for the Secure Erase Utility are stored in the SAMSUNG folder
(directory).
Perform the following steps. Please do NOT include the quotation
marks.
A.
Type “cd samsung” and press
[ENTER] at the command prompt.
B.
Type “cd secureerase” and press
[ENTER] at the next command
prompt.
