<div>It sounds like it wiped at least the
boot sector, and probably a good chunk of your os disk as an
unintended victim. Hate to say it, but never used dban, so not
sure if it's a glitch or just meant to blatantly wipe *everything*
in a system. Sounds like the later...<br>
<br>
If so, you're likely a bit (or lot) hozed. If you know the
geometry of the disk partitions, you can maybe recreate the
partitions and access some of your data, but seeing as you're now
missing contiguous chunks of disks, my guess is unless you're
using forensics tools, you're not going to get at it.<br>

<div>Hi everyone,<br>
<br>
</div>
I need help again with my computer. I am not sure what
happened, but ever since I used dban to erase one HDD
connected through a usb adapter my desktop doesn't want to
load an OS. It was working fine until dban started to erase
the entire disk. I stopped it before it could get too far.
Now when I try to boot into either of my disks it doesn't
see them.<br>
<br>
</div>
I've already tried to use a live CD to correct the problem and
I have an OS on one of my drive. But the computer won't load
into and says it can't find a bootable disk. I am sure that
one of the disk as an OS on it. When I use a live USB it
won't load. But I use it on my laptop and it works just fine.<br>
<br>
</div>
Any suggestions?<br clear="all">
