Operation of "HDD boot"

Execute the "Startup Environment Creation Tool" on the PC you want to erase, and install the "Boot up Erase Program" on the system hard disk of that PC.
When you restart your PC, the "Boot up Erase Program" will start and you can erase the hard disk of that PC.

Even if the HDD installation is completed and the "Boot up Erase Program" is started, the disk interface may not be supported or the network card may not be supported.
In that case, the disk cannot be erased or the network log cannot be written. Please use it on a PC with a model number whose operation has been confirmed in advance.

If the disk is not recognized by the "Boot up Erase Program" or cannot be started, start it with a CD / USB flash drive and erase the PC.



* This process rewrites the startup environment. By incorporating the erase program, you may not be able to start up Windows. Perform the process on the assumption that it will be deleted.
* If you are using 64-bit Windows and GPT partition / UEFI boot, use the UEFI boot system to boot.
* If you are using 32bit UEFI, 32bit Windows and GPT partition / UEFI boot, the CPU must be 64-bit compatible.
* When booting with the Legacy/BIOS, write the boot file to the system drive.
If the file system is encrypted (NTFS encryption or other software encryption), you will not be able to boot.
