ner Posted June 1, 2009 Posted June 1, 2009 Does anyone know how long Diskpart takes using the "Clean All" switch?Want to run t on a 200gig drive
Eagle710 Posted June 2, 2009 Posted June 2, 2009 The Clean all supposedly only clears the first MB of the disk.....according to this article:http://support.microsoft.com/kb/952630
Tripredacus Posted June 3, 2009 Posted June 3, 2009 That article is for the older version of Diskpart. I wonder if includes the one that comes in the WAIK now.
Jotnar Posted June 16, 2009 Posted June 16, 2009 It still just cleans the first part of the disk so the size of the hard disk doesn't matter.Cheers
whterbtobj Posted June 17, 2009 Posted June 17, 2009 (edited) diskpart clean <-- only cleans the MBRdiskpart clean all <-- write zero to every sector Edited June 17, 2009 by whterbtobj
iamtheky Posted June 17, 2009 Posted June 17, 2009 I use sdelete for cleaning purposes, then diskpart. Couldnt tell you if its faster or more effective, but hella easy to drive cmdline.http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinte...s/bb897443.aspx
