[QUOTE="bobtomay, post: 1572280, member: 24160"] First off, there was no reason to erase the free space separately as the 7 pass wipe already writes to the entire drive/partition - there is nothing left. Just quit it and restart from the boot disc. You should re-partition the drive vs just formatting the existing partition prior to re-installing the OS. [/QUOTE]
