Eagle710 Posted June 2, 2009 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tripredacus Posted June 3, 2009 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jotnar Posted June 16, 2009 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iamtheky Posted June 17, 2009 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
