Shredding Param pane
The Shredding Param pane contains the following:
•
Write Data Type: Settings for Shredding operations.
• Default (00-FF-00): If selected, defaults are used for Shredding operations. Data on a volume is
deleted by overwriting the volume with dummy data three times. When the volume is overwritten the
first and third times, Data Shredder uses 00 (hexadecimal number) for the dummy data. When the
volume is overwritten the second time, Data Shredder uses FF (hexadecimal number) for the dummy
data.
• User: If selected, you define the dummy data and how many times the volume is overwritten. For
more information, see ”
Defining Shredding operation settings
•
Write Data: Dummy data.
• Define: Enter up to four numbers or characters for the dummy data. You can enter only hexadecimal
numbers, including numbers 0 to 9, and alphabetic characters A to F. If you enter more than four
digits, the entry is not accepted.
NOTE:
Dummy data is written two digits at a time. Therefore, enter an even number of digits in the
text box. If you enter an odd number of digits (for example, 123) and click Set, an error message
appears. If you enter more than four digits, the entry is not accepted.
• Random: Data Shredder randomly selects 4-digit hexadecimal numbers for the dummy data.
•
Format List:
• NO.: Number of times volume is overwritten.
If you select User in the Write Data Type field, and specify number of times volume is overwritten,
Last Data appears in this column.
• Data: Contents of the dummy data. Dummy data is shown in sets of two digits with a space
between each set of digits. If Last Data appears in the NO. column, the dummy data is always 00.
•
Set: Adds dummy data defined in the Write Data field to the Format List. You can add dummy data a
maximum of seven times.
