2.9 Damaged storage media
Note: HDShredder also runs on media with defective sectors. In this case, it simply overwrites
all sectors which can still be written. The other defective sectors cannot be read any more
anyway.
2.10 Arbitrary computer systems
HDShredder cannot only be used on PC systems. Many special systems, e.g. in industry and
medicine, are principally PC compatible as well. In this case, HDShredder can be directly used
on the concerned system. Thanks to its operating system independence, it does not have to
work with the operating system installed on the system. Therefore, you can use HDShredder
on arbitrary, PC compatible systems to delete the data thereon easily and finally.
Tip: HDShredder can also be useful for special systems which are not PC compatible. Most of
such systems use internal IDE, SCSI, or SATA hard disks or flash storage media. You can then
simply install them in a PC and delete them there, in case HDShredder does not run directly
on the concerned special system.
