Does anyone know how long Diskpart takes using the "Clean All" switch?

Want to run t on a 200gig drive

The Clean all supposedly only clears the first MB of the disk.....according to this article:

That article is for the older version of Diskpart. I wonder if includes the one that comes in the WAIK now.

It still just cleans the first part of the disk so the size of the hard disk doesn't matter.

diskpart clean <-- only cleans the MBR

diskpart clean all <-- write zero to every sector

I use sdelete for cleaning purposes, then diskpart. Couldnt tell you if its faster or more effective, but hella easy to drive cmdline.
