    When you wipe, make sure you do it from front to back, and not from back to front.

    I downloaded dban to my new computer and tried to follow the instructions but no success, old laptop kept booting to windows, but neither mouse nor pointer would respond.
  • Error one might need laptop setting to boot from cd
    Error two might need a bootable cd, follow the instructions
    Error three you copied the compressed file to the cd, read the instructions

    Try again it's very good
