Does Darik’s Boot and Nuke work?

DBAN is an excellent tool and should be your first choice when you want to completely erase a hard drive. Just make sure you double-check that you’re wiping the correct drive! Given that DBAN hasn’t been updated since 2015, it’s possible that it won’t support some newer hardware.

Which DBAN method should I use?

DBAN recommends using the dodshort command. You can use any of them that you think is necessary, but ones like gutmann are surely an overkill that will only take more time to complete. Type one of these commands into DBAN to start wiping all your hard drives with that specific data wipe method.

Why does my laptop not boot from DBAN ISO?

Hello, I’ve burnt DBAN iso to my USB flash drive, but no matter what I try, when I restart my laptop, it completely ignores it and boots straight to the OS. I’ve done everything correctly in BIOS, enabled legacy and booting from USB and put it in the first place of priority.

Is there any way to make DBAN boot?

I’ve tried 2 different USB flash drives, both of which worked as bootable when I used them with Ubuntu iso. I’ve tried 2 different versions of DBAN. I’ve tried burning the iso with dd command in Ubuntu, using Disk Image Mounter and mkusb-dus. I’ve tried unmounting the USB flash drive before burning the iso. Is there any way to make it work?

Why is my DBAN not working on my computer?

DBAN does not run on computers with bad hardware. Recreate your DBAN boot media and try a second time. The most frequent reason for a DBAN problem is a bad floppy disk, bad CD-R, bad DVD-R, or non-bootable USB flash drive. Always give the manufacturer and model for your computer when you ask for help. More information is always better.

Why does my laptop not boot from USB?

Thank you for the answer, unfortunately I can’t use Rufus as I don’t use Windows and there is no Rufus for Linux. I don’t think that the problem lies with me not setting up the bootable USB properly, because I’ve tried different tools and ways that are normally used for this purpuse, and none of those worked (they worked with other isos).
