Subject: Re: dban





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...


      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.

Hi everyone,


            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.



          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.



        Any suggestions?
