  1. Fully Clean The Drive Not Finishing


    So when I downloaded windows 8 transformation pack it told me to restart... So i did but when i signed in all it showed was a black screen as my desktop and when i pressed "CTRL + ALT + DELETE" it showed me the default options so all i was able to access was The task manager And that's only fun if you end the process tree of Winnit.exe To get the blue screen. I found a tutorial a few weeks ago on how to factory reset a PC in the lock screen. So it worked the first time but i ran out of luck this time. Now when i fully clean the drive it only goes up to 4% before going back to the troubleshoot options. And when i restart the PC it says "Undoing Changes" Could you guys Please help me because i cant use my little sisters computer because its running Windows XP Professional. This problem is happening to me on my "Dell Inspiration 5555 Running Windows 10 at 2.00GHZ" Please Help.

    :)

    Windows 10 Reset and "Fully Clean The Drive" on SSD

    Hi,

    I have a quick question about the "Fully Clean The Drive" option for Windows 10...

    I have read that if you are planning on selling your computer you should reset Windows 10 and select 'Fully Clean The Drive'. I have read this is 'similar' to running format.exe c:\ /P:0, which would overwrite the whole drive
    with zeros, making data recovery from a traditional HDD pretty much impossible.

    My questions are

    1) What exactly does fully clean the drive do? Does it overwrite the WHOLE drive or just delete user files and overwrite the free space? Because if it were to overwrite the whole drive how could it reinstall windows because there
    would be no remaining data on the drive.

    2) How does fully clean the drive work on SSD's? A single overwrite on a SSD would not be sufficient to sanitise the drive unless a TRIM command was also issued. Would fully clean the drive issue a TRIM command?

    I guess my main question is how likely is it you can recover user data after you 'fully clean the drive' on an SSD?

    Thank you in advance!
