    Clean all my harddrives with multiple passes


    Hello,I wanted to fully clean all my harddrives, an SSD with windows on it and a HDD which is pure storage. So i thought about doing a formatting through windows setting with the « don’t keep anything » option on. But I think it will only clean the SSD one, because it has Windows on it, and will only do it once. I would like to fully clean both, and both with multiple passes. I have a bootable USB key with windows on it, so this is not a problem. But what is for you the best option to do a full delete of both hard drive with multiple passes please ?

    :)

    Best gaming harddrive Sugestion ???

    Seagate states on their 750gb,32mb cache harddrive that the best application is video surveillance.(liquor stores,how very sad and completly overpriced for the amount of problems they have).Yet Passmark lists this near the top of their harddrive page.Any one have a suggestion for something that will last.(maybe samsung???)
    Also I was considering a Raidmax hybrid 2 sli 630w powersupply.Any thoughts on Raidmax??

    Is my harddrive faulty?

    Please pull your CMOS battery, wait 20 seconds, install. Enter BIOS, set date and time, make sure SATA is set to AHCI

    Make sure your are booting UEFI

    Boot from media and redo the shift + F10 instructions above. Then install windows using custom. (Step 10 of this Tutorial)

    Clean Install Windows 10

    Then skip to Step 13. How big of a drive shows in the Window for step 13. Notice the note within step 13

    The tutorials provided are just a list of troubleshooting steps. Use only the steps which apply to you.

    Since none of the troubleshooting steps here worked, I'd suggest you do a Clean install.
