Acronis 2017 Drive Cleanser

Thread needs solution

I have ATI 2017 Premium. Is there a standalone version of Drive Cleanser?

I also have Disk Director 12, but don't see any drive wiping utilities there.

 

Thanks.

Andros, Drive Cleanser is provided by the TrueImageTools program so can run separately from the main Acronis True Image application GUI, otherwise, you can also run it by booting from the Acronis Rescue Media where it is found in the Tools & Utilities section.

Thanks Steve. Much appreciated. I tried running TrueImage Tools on a system without ATI installed, but it doesn't cooperate without fox.dll. So I copied fox.dll to the same directory as the TI Tools executable, but it returns and  error and creates a dump file in appdata local temp.

For clarity, I hold several licenses to 2017, but only have one copy installed on one machine, so no licensing violations. I'd like to run TI Tools from within Windows on a machine without ATI installed. Is this possible?

 

Thanks for your help.

Andros, unfortunately Drive Cleanser is integrated into the Acronis products and cannot be used in a standalone way except by booting from the Acronis Rescue Media.

Having said the above, I have never used Drive Cleanser as there are many alternatives available for when needed, plus if a drive is at end of life, a good heavy hammer does a great job!

See webpage: 40 Free Data Destruction Software Programs - for alternatives.

Thanks for your help. The link provides good info on several programs, a few of which will run from windows. That'll do the trick. Thanks again!
