DBAN not working?

[Stanny]

Hello,

I am trying to remove everything on my hdd and restart from fresh so I can solve my GPU problem.

I've tried putting in windows 7 and I get an error.. I then tried DBAN and I get an error saying "the disks have not been found" plus press and hold the power button.

Any other programs I can use to reset everything?? Or a way to get around DBAN

Whats DBAN?

Try an install from pen drive.

[Stanny]

It wipes your HDD.

Tried that and no luck

Ubuntu Live OS, format the drive through that, delete the partition and create a new NTFS one?

[flyboyovyick]

Why do you need to format it?

It does it when installing windows.

[Sniperdude]

as said just use the windows cd

never used a 3rd party program to format a drive

if thats giving you an error either the drive is on its way out OR the optical drive is having issues reading the CD

[spleenharvester]

Unplug optical drives, card readers etc.

If you're not planning on selling it, I'd just reformat, personally.
