Hard Disk Data Erase Utility

When disposing the computer or transferring the ownership, erase all hard disk data in order to avoid data leakage. Even if you erase the data or initialize the hard disk using normal Windows commands, the data can be read with some special software. Use the hard disk data erase utility to erase the data completely.

Note that transferring of the ownership without uninstalling the commercial software will be a violation of the software’s license agreement.

The hard disk data erase utility erases data using an overwriting method, but there is a possibility that due to malfunc- tions or other operational errors, data may not be completely erased. There are also specialized devices that may be able to read data that has been erased using this method. If you need to erase highly confidential data, we recom- mend that you contact a company that specializes in this process. Matsushita Electric Industrial Co., Ltd. will bear no responsibility for losses or damages suffered as a result of the use of this utility.

NOTE

This utility cannot erase data for specific partitions. The entire hard disk data including the data of the recovery parti-

tion will be erased.

It will take 2 to 5 hours to erase the data. (Erasing time varies depending on the capacity of the hard disk.)

Prepare the Panasonic CD/DVD drive (optional): CF-VDRRT1M, CF-VDRRT2W, CF-VDRRT3W, CF-VDRRT3U.
