    diskpart and revodisk


    Hello

    I'd like to reinstall my OS.

    I have tried the tutorial by Bare foot kid but have had no success, diskpart cannot reccognise my Revodrive as a fixed disc.

    Is it normal that my revo is not on the diskpart list?
    Is it necessary to write zeros to this drive?
    How do I write zeros to it other than diskpart before reinstll?

    Thanks for your help again

    Hello james cullen.



    I responded to the other post of yours; to answer this question, have a look at Option Three in this tutorial at the link below for an outline of the wipe process using the free Partition Wizard program though you would want to do the entire HDD instead of a single partition.

    Thanks to BFK for the help on this issue.

    Does anyone have any experience with wiping a Revodrive, writing it with zeros for reinstall of OS?

    I found this info Guide Secure Erase From Within Linux For Windows Users - Includes Revo and IBIS

    Is this relevant to a win 7 environment?

    Thanks

    Hello again James.



    I've asked some of the H/W guys here at the forums to have a look at this one for you.

    Yes sir, that is relevant. Since it is not dependent on Windows, it will work for any OS.

    thanks guys.

    I wonder if the same approach would work with Partition wizard.

    Go in and delete the raid array then wipe the drive with PW and reinstall?

    I can vouch for Partition Wizard, it is a dependable program.
