    DBAN disk wipe on Bitlocker?

    No need. Not unless you've set it to unlock with a password "1234" or "Password" - no-one will guess the bitlocker recovery key in the remaining lifetime of the universe.

    A DBAN wiped and a bitlocker encrypted drive will both appear to contain random data.

    DBAN disk wipe on Bitlocker?

    Maybe Bitlocker will ask for the Recovery key before wiping the drive with DBAN or CLEANALL.

    DBAN disk wipe on Bitlocker?: My mother has an old laptop which is very slow running Win10 with Bitlocker encryption. I set it up for her in the past. She wants to get rid of it. If the drive is encrypted, do I still need to wipe the data using DBAN? The hard drive is an IDE drive, not SSD. 156381
