BlackArmor DriveCleanser offers you another useful capability - to estimate the results of executing a data destruction method on a hard disk or partition. To view the state of your cleaned disks or partitions, choose Utilities in the lower part of the sidebar and then Disk clean-up in the upper part. The BlackArmor DriveCleanser area in the right pane contains the View disks link. Click on the link and then choose the partition whose cleaning results you wish to view. This opens an integrated DiskViewer hard disk browsing tool (a module of BlackArmor Disk Editor). The aforementioned algorithms offer various levels of confidential data destruction. Thus the picture you might see on a disk or partition depends on the data destruction method. But what you actually see are disk sectors filled with either zeros or random symbols. 15.3 Creating custom algorithms of data destruction BlackArmor DriveCleanser gives you the opportunity to create your own algorithms for wiping hard disks. Although the software includes several levels of data destruction, you can choose to create your own. This is recommended only for users familiar with the principles of data destruction used in secure disk wiping methods. Creating a custom method of hard disk wiping is possible after choosing "Custom..." from the drop-down list in the Algorithm Selection window. In this case some new required steps appear in the DriveCleanser wizard and you will be able to create a data destruction algorithm matching your security requirements. Having completed the creation, you can save the algorithm you created. This will be handy if you are going to use it again. To save your algorithm, you need to give it a filename and show the path to the folder you want to store it in by selecting the folder from the tree shown in the left pane. Each custom algorithm is stored in a separate file with its own name. If you try to write a new algorithm to an pre-existing file, the existing file's contents will be erased. 108 Copyright (c) 2000-2009 Acronis. All rights reserved.
