How to Clean Your Hard Drive with SURERASE

SURERASE Pro Reporting Instructions

During the erase process, SurErase captures certain system configuration information and statistics and writes them to your SurErase USB Key. The process below allows you to register the information and to create reports that may prove useful for tax purposes, to resell the computer, or to prove that the system/drive was wiped.

1. Insert the SurErase USB Key into any working system that is running a Microsoft Windows operating system and is connected to the Internet. Note: Inserting the SurErase USB Key in a working computer without the SurErase CD will NOT perform an erase.

Depending upon your system setup, you may be automatically prompted to register your SurErase results. If so, skip to Step xxx. Otherwise, continue with Step 2.

2. If your system does not automatically prompt you to register your SurErase results, open a window to view your computer's drives. In Vista, this is done by selecting "Computer" from the Start Menu. In XP and older operating systems, this is done by selecting "My Computer" from the Start Menu. Very old Windows systems may use a different method.

3. Right click on the SurErase USB Key, and select "Register SurErase Results" from the menu.

4. You will be presented with the prompt below to confirm your intent to regsiter your results. To continue, click on Yes.

5. The system will register your results and present you with a web page that will allow you to view your reports. For more information about the information you see on that web page, click here for an explanation of the reports page.
