    2. Extract the contents of the compressed file.
    3. Open DiskWipe. If you are running Windows Vista or Windows 7, right-click the program icon and select Run as Administrator.

    Re: Securely wipe any SD card

    Any advantages of this software compared to others?

    Also isnt this a bad idea for flash based memory? As they have a limited read/write lifetime unlike mechanical harddrives

    Re: Securely wipe any SD card

    Having previously recovering data on both formatted and corrupted hard drives ( using GetDataBack ), and knowing how easy and successful this was, and with all the ID theft etc... going on, I would suggest that anyone would be crazy to get rid of any kind of storage media without either totally physically destroying it beyond repair, or using a secure wipe utility.

    Whenever I get rid of an old HDD, I either use eraser, or take it apart, remove the disk platters, and bend them in half back-and fore until they snap.

    Anyone wanting a very good FREE disk wipe utility google "tolvanen eraser". This allows you to secure erase files or the contents of the recycle bin ( instead of delete or empty ) as well as overwriting your free disk space with random data preventing un-delete utilities from bringing them back.
