General

	1.	Emptying Recycle Bin deletes my data?
		Just to empty Recycle Bin cannot delete data. Emptying Recycle Bin means just adding information of “deleted” in the file index to make the file invisible.

	2.	Formatting disk erase my data?
		Unfortunately even formatting disk can not delete disk data, either.

	3.	How can I protect my data?
		To delete data permanently, you need to overwrite your data. DiskDeleter supports 6 delete methods including the method of the US Department of Defense to destruct data permanently.

	4.	How does DiskDeleter work?
		You can delete disks while Windows is running. Just click DiskDeleter; the installation wizard will guide you to delete the disks.

After delete process completed, you can confirm the result of deletion in the operation summary.

	5.	What kind of devices does DiskDeleter support?
		DiskDeleter can support any disks that system BIOS can detect mainly IDE, SATA, SCSI and also most of USB. If the system BIOS cannot detect the devices such as USB disks, DiskDeleter cannot detect the devices.

		DiskDeleter has 6 delete methods, 1. Zero Write, 2. Random Write, 3. Random Random Zero, 4. DOD 5220.22-M, 5. NATO Standard, and 6. Peter Gutmann.

Even Zero Write selected, deleted disk cannot be recovered by any data recovery software products.

	7.	What is the ReFormat option?
		To be able to use disks immediately, DiskDeleter formats disks as FAT32 after delete completed.

	8.	What is the Report option?
		DiskDeleter can save its delete report on the deleted disk. It contains all the necessary information including snapshot of 48 byte data after the delete. Once you save a delete report, wherever you connect the disk, you can see the delete report after booting from the disk. For your information, since the Report option writes a delete report on a disk, it cannot coexist with ReFormat option.
