V5.7
Fixed icon issue.
Upgraded DBAN To 1.0.1
Improvments to alternative datastreams submitted by Sami
Minor Typo errors in help files files.
V5.6a 19-Jan-2003 Very minor upgrade - Just reinstall
Many thanks to Steven Michael for the cool new icons. Much
appreciated.
DBAN is now wrapped in a winimage self extractor. This will make
things
easier for those who prefer GUI apps.
To use this option:
1. Place a floppy in your a: drive.
2. Click on the Start button and then choose Programs->Eraser->
Create Boot Nuke Disk.
3. Ensure 'Writing on Floppy' is ticked.
Tick 'Formatting' if your floppy needs to be formatted.
4. Click OK.
Result: Your Boot Nuke Disk has now been created.
5. Boot up your PC with the floppy still remaining in your a: drive.
Result: All drives will now be erased.
IMPORTANT: USE WITH EXTREME CAUTION
Fixed a few typos in the installer
V5.6 16-Dec-2002
1. Eraser now includes 'Darik's Boot and Nuke' disk. There is a new
directory under Eraser called 'boot'.
For a summary:
'Darik's Boot and Nuke ("DBAN") is a self-contained boot floppy that
securely wipes the hard disks of most computers. DBAN will
automatically and completely delete the contents of any hard disk
that
it can detect, which makes it an appropriate utility for bulk or
emergency data destruction.'
V5.541 24-Nov-2002 (Final)
1. Fixed issue with Verify.exe not picking up files.
2. Fixed issue with installing to long pathnames.
Eraser giving (null) when clicking on recycle bin was due to it
not finding eraser in long installed pathnames.
3. In this release all exe's including the installer.
(except Eraserd.exe - Dos app which cannot be signed)
and dll's have been digitally signed.
In explorer right click and select properties.
A tab with digital signatures will appear. It should verify as OK.
If not there is a problem.
V5.54 05-Nov-2002 (*BETA*)
1. Fixes for XP freespace erase. Note: those who found they has 100's
of random files left in their root dir after a crash can now delete them
by
'del eraser*.*' as they will be called e.g eraser345987f.6fd
2. system now confirms the overwrite of your scheduler file on install.
V5.53 30-Aug-2002
1. Complete rewrite of installer. Now using the Free Innosetup
by jrsoftware.
2. Registery entries not uninstalled by previous version now fixed.
3. Problems with being unable to uninstall should be fixed.
V5.52 29-July-2002
1. Fixed some dialog problems as
per
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;q320479
This will need to be fixed to allow selection of files in hidden
directories.
2. (Beta) Eraser can now delete files on reboot - Under schedule task
set the day to 'Reboot' This is a new feature and will be altered
and redesigned according to feedback.
V5.51
1. Fixed corrupted eraserd. Now tested with FreeDOS.
2. Fixed issue where eraser was not pointing to correct registry
entries.
V5.5 08-Dec-2002
This version addresses all of the upgrade issues we had with
converting to C7
1. Installer
After testing with the windows installer we concluded that
1. There are still too many users without the windows installer.
2. Installing the installer runtime is a major download.
3. Many users did not know what to do with an .msi file
2. Import/export/save dialogs no longer worked with C++7. Fixed
3. EraserD was compiled with VC8 which we did not have so after
scouring the net the digital mars compiler was found. See
www.digitalmars.com this is a great product works with WIN32 as
well. I was amazed that we could recompile with little effort.For
the dos version many users have asked for the ability to bootup
a machine and erase it from the floppy.
We are experimenting with creating a FAT32 boot disk using
FreeDOS see http://www.freedos.com this would allow you to
erase > 2gig partitions.
4. Fixed the Delphi example
5. Beta version of the boot erase option.
V5.4.1
This version fixed problems with the VC7 MFC libraries and we created
a new installer.
V5.4
This is the first release since we took on maintaining eraser from
Sami
Tolvanen
Changes: Updated to work with windows XP.
Program now compiled with Visual C++.NET.
