Create Default Partition
If this option is selected then after erasure is completed
the drive will be repartitioned. Partitioning assumes that
the entire drive is a single partition. If you desire multiple
partitions then you will need to place the drive into a PC to
perform the partitioning. If you select the partition option,
then you may also (optionally) choose to have the partition
formatted by selecting the Format Disk option described
below.
Format Disk
This will format the partition with the selected
fi
le system.
The Digital Shredder currently supports FAT16, FAT32,
NTFS, EXT1 and EXT2.
Disk Image
Assuming you have chosen to partition and format the
disk, you can also con
fi
gure the Digital Shredder to copy
the contents of an ‘image’ drive on to the drive being proc-
essed. See the section entitled Disk Imaging for details on
this feature.
Print Certi
fi
cate
Turning this option ON will provide a printed certi
fi
cate
upon completion of the erasure process. If this option is
OFF, the label will not be printed automatically, however,
the information is stored in the Digital Shredder history.
The label can be reprinted at a later time.
The history contains the following information:
Hard drive serial number
–
Operator username
–
Type of erasure method used
–
Date and time of the beginning and end of the
–
operations
Now that you have successfully created your users and
have set your default options, you are ready to begin eras-
ing drives. Information on the other System Screens can
be found at the end of this manual.
