Parted Magic 2013_08_01_i586 warnings
Posted: Fri Nov 08, 2013 12:52 am
I read this version, used in 5.2.7 has some seriuos bugs.
Parted Magic is now payware even many inside software are free programs. (why buy for it?)
They have some warnings:
- a very destructive USB corruption bug
When will it cause and how to avoid it?
- OLD Secure Erase GUI that would allow a user to erase an ATA disk through a USB interface
Can we avoid the mistake?
- The OLD GUI would also set the secure erase password to NULL by default
Is that a big problem?
- quickly released version 2013_08_10
Is this GPL version or first payware version?
If we can avoid big problems with the used version, we hope it will keep the problems low under users, otherwise i should try another version...
Thanks.
