Hello Mike,
I would urge extreme caution doing such things to a boot drive.
Remember that Windoze utilises free space to do lots of house keeping,
and there are lots of thing stored temporarily in RAM / cache.
I would expect Windoze to behave very defensively in this situation.

Hi David & Al,
Yes that is true but, you can wipe all the free space on the boot drive &
that's what I'm having trouble with. If I choose the, Simple Overwrite 1
Pass option, the wipe completes successfully but, any more passes than 1 &
that's when I get the message I mentioned in my original post. You can
choose Simple Overwrite 1 Pass, Advanced Overwrite 3 Passes, Complex
Overwrite 7 Passes or, Very Complex Overwrite 35 Passes. I can only get the
single pass to complete. Thank you very much for your reply.
Take care.
Mike

You can't wipe the drive you have booted off of, it just normally won't
work. At least I have never seen it work before. It has to be a secondary
drive.

Always be yourself because the people that matter don't mind, and the ones
that mind don't matter.

Subject: [JAWS-Users] CCleaner & Its Drive Wiper Tool
Hi All,
I am trying to use CCleaner's Drive Wiper tool & keep getting the following
message at around 50% when using the Advanced or Complex Overwrite options:
***
CCleaner
The process cannot access the file because another process has locked a
portion of the file.
OK
***
Jaws does not tell me which process is locking out the Drive Wiper process.
Is CCleaner supposed to show me which process is locking out the Drive Wiper
process & Jaws just is not able to see it? I have tried with both my Anti
Virus disabled & enabled with the same results. I'm running XP Pro Jaws 13,
& CCleaner 4.16. Has anyone ran across this & knows what process might be
causing the locking out of the Drive Wiper process? Any help would be
greatly appreciated. Thank you very much.
Take care.
Mike
