Building wiping media

Wiping Media Builder can help you accomplish the following operations:

 Prepare the Linux/DOS environment (included in the installation package) on external media (CD, DVD, or flash

memory) to boot and run utilities under Linux or PTS DOS (strongly recommended);

 Prepare a custom Linux/DOS environment by adding any data you like to the standard image;

 Create from the master CD the Linux/DOS environment on a CD/DVD disc, or flash memory.

Booting from the Linux/DOS wiping media

The Linux/DOS environment can be used to boot your computer into Linux or PTS DOS to get access to your hard disk

for maintenance or recovery purposes. It also has the PTS DOS safe mode, which may help in a number of non-standard

situations such as interfering hardware settings or serious problems on the hardware level. In this case, only basic files

and drivers (such as hard disk drivers, a monitor driver, and a keyboard driver) will be loaded.

Startup

To start working with the Linux/DOS environment, please take the following steps:

1. Start up the computer from our Linux/DOS wiping media.
