When purchasing a program for drive wipe Windows users must always remember to only choose a disk wipe program designed for their Windows operating system. Just as with data recovery programs, Mac and Windows applications for drive wipe or permanent file deletion are not compatible. The basic reason for this is that the means of accessing file sectors on the two types of operating systems is completely different and as such a Mac file erasing program will not recognize the navigation parameters of a Windows formatted hard drive.

One would also do well to recognize that only the best file shredder programs have permanent file erasing capability. These quality data erasers will allow you to permanently destroy the contents of a single file or all of the files on your computer’s hard drive. Should you purchase a quality file shredder program remember to use it carefully, as once a file has been run through these applications it can never be reconstructed.
