What Is CopyWipe?

CopyWipe is a freeware utility for copying and securely overwriting (wiping) entire hard

drives. CopyWipe can ease and expedite the transition to a new hard drive, by copying

the entire contents of one drive to another. CopyWipe can also help prevent confidential

or private data from being recovered, by securely wiping the contents of a drive. A

number of options are provided for wiping, allowing the user to choose an optimal

balance between security and duration of the wiping operation.

Two versions of CopyWipe are available: CopyWipe for DOS , and CopyWipe for

Windows . As the names imply, each version is designed for use in a different operating

system environment. Except as noted, both versions of CopyWipe appear and function

identically.

System Requirements

By default, CopyWipe for DOS relies on the BIOS for processing disk functions. If your

computer’s BIOS interface is limiting access to the hard drive, then CopyWipe for DOS

will also be affected by this limitation. You can have CopyWipe for DOS override the

BIOS interface on most systems by using the BIOS HD (direct) option provided, as

explained in this manual.

CopyWipe for Windows relies on Windows to provide drive access, not the BIOS, so

the information in the paragraph immediately above does not apply to it.

Hardware • IBM-compatible personal computer (i386 or newer)

• 16 MB RAM

Software

• CopyWipe for DOS : None

• CopyWipe for Windows : Windows NT/2000/XP/Vista
