And if you wiped a partition then I see the restore partitions fail or Windows fail.
Is this that old question of how to wipe a drive but keep Windows?

I have a Toshiba satellite that i want to get rid of, what hard drive erasing software is a good one? After i wipe the drive will there be a partition where windows is stored or does that get erased as well?
