Hi, hope someone can help with these:
What does the 'prompt each file' command mean?
What's the difference between fast, normal and slow write speeds?
When I've done a search with File Recovery software I'm still seeing many many files as recoverable (mainly html and gif files), even after several wipes. How come? They were mostly showing in folder C:\[DIR60................(lots of numbers!)
Any help gratefully received
A few questions
Re: A few questions
This means that it will prompt you before deleting each file.thebigchil wrote:Hi, hope someone can help with these:

That actually sets how much CPU time that the scrubber will release to the OS in between blocks. On the "Slow" setting the program will release lots of time slices back to Windows so other programs will run faster while you are scrubbing in the background. On the "Fast" setting, the program releases very little time back to Windows so the scrub process goes much faster, but other programs will seem choppy or lag. The "Normal" setting is in between the other 2 settings.thebigchil wrote:What's the difference between fast, normal and slow write speeds?
Have you been able to actually recover one and read it though? You should not be able to read the file as its data will have been overwritten with new data during the wipe process. If you use the scrub free space you should no longer see those files as recoveralbe.thebigchil wrote:When I've done a search with File Recovery software I'm still seeing many many files as recoverable (mainly html and gif files), even after several wipes.
