DBAN Question

For several years I have used Dban on a Windows 7 OS computer. Now I'm trying to use it on a Windows 8.1 system on a fairly new computer and the results I "m getting are completely different from my previous Win7 readings.
Different, to mean unusable or at least I can't make any sense of a black screen covered with white print and this occurs after Dban loads normally and I type "autonuke" and click enter.

So my question: Can Dban be used with Windows 8.1?

 

Hi derfsch, Have you read the FAQ's list?http://www.dban.org/faq/ Neil.

 

Hi Neil, ................ To answer your question: Yes, after reading your reply. It did not give me what I was looking for but did lead me off into current discussions of DBAN. Thus my delay in getting back to you. I came to the conclusion that DBAN is independent of the operating system (Win7 or Win8.1), something I should have realized before posting here. What I did realize was that my DBAN CD is quite old and that the current version has more up to date drivers in them. That is where I am now, I have downloaded the latest DBAN.

I don't know whether one can say my question has been solved or not but thank you for you interest.

 

Updating the Software especially for newer MS OS's may be your answer. Hope it helps. Neil.
