I've used dban in the past but I am unable to get a bootable USB device to work correctly. I've checked the iso files and they appear correct and used both Rufus and Yumi with different drives. When I try to boot to the device on two different machines, it just bounces back to the boot menu. I am not sure what I am doing incorrectly.
Are these machines newish and may have CMS (Naming of this option depens on manufacturer and/or BIOS/UEFI) disabled or n/a in BIOS? We have no *.efi for UEFI boot and thus USB-sticks by rufus are created with CMS in mind. If that settings are not correct or it's a new device and its completly missing BIOS compat., you just drop back to boot menu or "missing disk no boot option avaible" message
AFAIK/AFAIR - imho didn't check documentation or code
€ Was here to autonuke a NB. UEFI was enabled, so dban didn't boot (as expected) disabled UEFI setting in bios. WORKS as it should :)
