I have an IBM thinkpad and Seagate 160GB USB external drive that I want to sell. Purchased Secure Erase but it did not work with my laptop. Decided to try Disk Purge which booted up and found both devices. Very easy product to use. Works great!

This review is from: Tabernus Disk Purge Home Edition (CD-ROM)

I purchased this software to purge the hard drives of several laptops. They were older model laptops with widely varying configurations, so I ran into some problems. I sent an e-mail to the support e-mail address and received a response almost immediately. The technical support that I received was absolutely first rate and the issues that I ran into were resolved in very quick order. I am very pleased with my purchase of this product.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wow!, July 5, 2005

This review is from: Tabernus Disk Purge Home Edition (CD-ROM)

I purchased a similar product first and when my queries to support went unaswered over the period of a week, I simply returned it.

In a support world peopled by obtuse, arrogant, unresponsive, geeks, support at Disk Purge is a welcome change. Easy to reach, quick to respond and eager to go the extra mile, they bent over backwards to help me through an atypical issue.

HIGLY RECOMMEDNDED!
