Before obtaining this product I had never attempted to erase a hard drive. The easy to follow directions took me through the process step by step. I also liked the certificate that you may print after you have completed the program. I have already provided a copy of one to the individual who previously owned the PC.

I used SecurErase 8 on an old computer that I was giving away. The instructions were easy, that was important to me. It worked good. I will keep it in my library in case I need to use it again on another computer.

This review is from: SecurErase 8: Permanently Erase Your Hard Drive (CD-ROM)

Great software. But, if you are using a USB CD/DVD player/writer then you will have to make a bootable disk (i.e. floppy disk) with the program on it and run it from there. It will not run from USB driven devices. Since I have floppys disks and drives, I didn't have a problem with it. It will also not erase USB driven drives. So, if you have a USB drive, you will have to remove the drive out of the enclosure, and install it into your computer (or you can use ESATA or a hotswap bay if you happen to have them). Then you can erase.
